Sharjah: a model town

Here is a little piece of extracurricular activity. While I was up on the roof looking for 'Buildings', this image ended up in the camera. The original idea was to show the white law court buildings over in the distance, but what I've produced here is more fun.

Photoshop Elephants 2 proved nowhere near as co-operative as CS3 in the online tutorial, but I did what I could by selecting areas and increasing the Gaussian blur as I moved further away from the sharp area. It's not quite right: there are some issues with lighting columns and trees that should not have varying blur along their lengths, but this is a first attempt.



Incidentally, Sharjah doesn't have a cathedral, so in the strictest sense of the word it isn't a city.
