There are two things that I would love to do:
1. Go back to Europe for a month long vacation
2. Ride in a hot air balloon
But for now, this is as close as I'll get...
My edited shot of the Eiffel Tower turned out so well that I actually sold a copy of it!
So, I thought I'd take one of my husband's shots from Venice and fix it too.

...In case you were wondering, no, I was not on the trip with him.
But that just gives us a reason to go back to Europe, doesn't it?!
After:
Before:
I edit with PSE 8 and here's what I did:
Step 1: Run PW's Warm Action x 2
Step 2: Run PW's Soft & Faded Action
Step 3: Using the clone tool, get rid of that unsightly wire/clothes line thing.
Step 4: Crop to 8x10.
Step 5: Attempt to remove people from bridge and decide that it's more work than you care to do. That, and because your kids are crawling on you.
And that's it.
Not a whole lot of editing, but I think the result is nice.
