PHOTOSHOP PROCESS
1. For this picture, i removed the tree that was in the top right hand corner, as i wanted the main focal point to be the cathedral, and in my opinion, the tree was in the way. To do this i used the clone stamp tool to carefully remove the tree by cloning the sky, and painting over. i also clone stamped the tree that was on the cathedral, this was a little more difficult, as i had to clone a small part of the cathedral, and then paint over, there was a lot of detail on the cathedral so it was hard to keep the detail there.
2. I then looked at the colour levels function on photoshop, but there was a good mixture of whites and blacks, so i did not need to change this, however, i did change the saturation slightly, to give the cathedral more colour and make it look more aestheticaly pleasing.
3. I did not crop this image, as the photo was just the right size so that i got all of the cathedral in one shot; i did not have to merge two pictures together.
TECHNICAL DETAIL
File Format: JPEG
Compression and data size: Set to 12 on photoshop for maximum quality.

BIGSTOCK PHOTO
On bigstockphoto.com, there werent many cathedral pictures on there, hence the reason i took photos of the cathedral as there was a gap in the market. The categories used for my photo was Architecture->Churches/religious, Places->European Cities, Places->travel. Using 3 categories means that more people will view my image and potentially buy it!
Keywords used->architecture, buildings, cathedral, lincoln, da vinci code, magna carta, magna, carta, church, christianity, religion, religious, landmark, old, historical, history,
Submission -> all my photos were submitted with sucess, although i am still waiting for approval from bigstockphoto
