Default Mini-Contest: Let's see what you can do!

I think it's a decent photo, but the lighting is a little off. Let's see what you can do. Good luck!

My try on it. Had to resize it due to jpeg compression.

Jopfin has it so far I think. Would be good to have the raw file of it to work with.

I vote for jopfin! Great balance of the over-exposed areas and nice color saturation! Good work!

I gave it a go.. My skills are less technical and more what looks ok by the eye.

Here's my attempt. Played around a bit with contrast and added a sky from a pic that I have.

Not my best work, but, you get the idea.

I have about 100 mid-day shots from Pompeii that pretty much suck due to really bad lighting conditions. What I learned from this was that no matter how much everyone else in your group wants to make Pompeii a "stopp off" on the way to somewhere else, I will insist that I be there early morning or late afternoon if I have a second chance. That being said, I'd still want to be many miles from there before dark. The town around the ruins is a nasty, dank, dirty, run-down has-been of a place where you wouldn't want to have to find a hotel room.
