Cheers Dan :thumbs:

I agree Morgie, Millennium square does look pretty good at night with all the colours and reflections. Thanks Duffman :) For the second photo I was quite far back from the planetarium to achieve the angle I wanted. And as you can see the reflections are a bit irregular. As for the third...

Heres my three best shots I got from my jaunt around Bristol on Saturday. Quite pleased with the first one of the squirrel in Castle park and the reflections in the mirrored Planetarium. Can't quite decide if I like the third one, the idea is there but I'm not sure if it works.

Sure is a small world. If you don't mind me asking what college course are you doing?

Hi there, I've just seen your studio shots and they look great. Also I used to know Tim! As for image size I think your limited to 800x600 unless you post a link.

Thats fine, I don't mind at all. That is a cracking job there Nyte, especially for 30 secs work. :thumbs: Looks as though I need more practice on my PS skills. Thanks for elaborating on how you achieved it too.

Been a bit busy of late and have only just got round to trying it again. I still can't seem to crack it though I am getting a bit closer. I made the selection about 80px larger than the sunspot using the lasso and making a zigzag edge to the shape. Is this big enough or should the selection be...

Well I have just had a go at what you suggested Dave and got a bit stuck at the touch up with a layer mask part. I manage to get the spot so it looks right in the centre but it still has a lighter 'halo' around it. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

Thanks for the advice everyone. I will have a bash at it tomorrow and see how I get on, then let you know. Or ask you where I have screwed up! ekimeno - for an attempt in half drunken state thats pretty good. It does make the spot much less noticeable. Though I think I keep getting drawn to...

I know what can be done to reduce the chances of this occuring. But a lens hood was out of the question as I was using a compact p&s. And after taking the photo the spot/flare was only noticable after viewing it downloading. However I find it slightly distracting from the photo as it is right in...
