    This is certainly not as dramatic as Paul's post. It is an alleyway in downtown Micanopy. I cropped, removed wires, etc. from the left wall and across the alley using Edit>Content Aware mostly and some clone stamping. Then I did an Orton effect by overlaying a Gaussian blurred layer using Multiply blending mode over the original image that I had added a duplicate layer in the Screen blending mode.
    Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated

    Nice cozy scene Cheryl. You did a great job with the processing and evictions! I might also evict the thing on the bottom left corner and tone down the spot in the right top corner.

    Very nicely done, Cheryl, you really perked this photo with lush color and the Orton effect turned out very well. Good suggestions from Denise to make even stronger.

    Nicely done...wonderful job of processing to add the "pop" the original image lacked...and your processing compliments the image, bringing out the strong compositional elements. I like Denise's suggestion, RE the bright spot in the URC. Well done!

    A wonderful transformation. It looks very inviting. And you did a nice job getting rid of the wires. I like the increased intensity of the oranges, but I'd have nudged the greens back a little from where they are now.

    Nice Glow effect, your vision on this image was quite interesting. Soft, with vibrant colors and textures, it's a place I'd just like to sit down for moment or two...................Very nice!

    Nice image and application, Cheryl.

    Aren't you glad you can walk down the street and get these!

    Only comment is I might remove the electrical service pipe up by the light, if it were mine. But nice image.
