I posted this image that I worked up in an earlier post and liked it a lot, however, I did not care much for the building in the background.  An hour or so in Photoshop, I came up with this …

It did not take much to remove the building, but smoothing and blending the blue sky seemed to take the most time to work it into a seamless blue that looks believable.  There is some debate going on about how much Photoshop is acceptable, mostly in facial / body retouching, that people are being highly critical of Photoshop usage.   I personally think it is a bunch of rubbish … this is the 21st century and people are going to use whatever they can to enhance a photograph to their own personal liking.  So if you like it great, if not, turn the page and move on … pretty simple, huh?  Remember, all comments are welcome.  If you have any Photoshop questions, please do not hesitate to ask and I will be happy to share what I know.  Thanks …
