Nice pic to work on. DPP - HDR to blend; Luminar 4 - straightened, cropped, sharpened structure just a bit, advanced the fall season by masking deciduous trees and increasing reds, tweaked luminance, saturation and vibrance, changed aspect ratio to bring image together and "elevate", wee bit of dodging and burning.

My perspective on the cannon blast doesn't quite match the angle of the cannon barrel, but can't seem to be able to adjust it properly with my software. Link to the transparent .png file below if anyone wants to try ... - Rob

There's also no one there to fire the canon... kinda ruin's the whole concept IMHO.

Please don't count this one, I was just playing with a tutorial of piximperfect to convert this image to a 'snowy scene'. After I merged the three images into a single hdr, I straightened and cropped in ACR then tried to 'make it snow'.

Here's the link to the tutorial if anyone is interested.

IMHO this is your best work on this image. I do notice immediately that the pavilion floor slants downhill and the roof line is level (only Nigel straightened it somewhat) , but the rest of the image is excellent.

That's what I noticed, no one leveled the pavilion.

Many thanks for the very complimentary comment :-)

I tried to ensure that the vertical poles were upright but there is slight keystone distortion which I ignored

Martin - when you next visit, you need to bring a level or a glass of water (or single malt Scotch etc ...) to test the truth of this!
