Ah yes, very nice! That is absolutely the technique, now all you have to do is practice the technique often, and you’ll become very proficient at it. In fact, in the FYC section, there is a challenge titled Man In White. It is also a good one to practice with. I submitted an entry as a night shot. Give it a go. 😉

Thank you very much, I can see there are a lot of possibilities to branch off of this, and it was fun...again thank you!!

Now worries, glad you enjoyed it. Now by the way of constructive criticism, after looking closely for a few ministers at your image, it looks like you painted in the yellow on the window frames in stead of the actual window as a whole. The best way to handle windows with a sharp edge is to use your Lasso tool around the window. When selected, paint the entire window at 100% with black to reveal the yellow. Then, select white and paint in the window frames. I use about 70% some some of the yellow glow spills over and looks more realistic. I’m sure you’ll be more pleased with the results.

You are exactly right, and your suggestion will make it way more realistic!! I have worked one up of the man in the white suit that I will post in FYC !
