Hi Rich54,

That looks a possibilty!  You did well to drop on a suitable image straightaway....

I've decided there are so many fundamental faults with the PSD file I've been working with, that I'm going back to the drawing board.  I'll start over again when I find the original RAW image...

In the meantime, I've another in a similar vein, of a 'boardwalk' in Albufeira Marina in the Algarve.

Because I started with this from scratch, and taking on board some ideas from here, I came up with this in about ½hour...

It's a lot cleaner and tidier, all round.  I still think there's a simpler way to do it as involved numerous layers, but I'm reasonably happy with this result.  Whether I can adapt the same procedure to the original photo remains to b seen.  The low sun position causes an issue on that, with distortion and misplacement of the heavy shadows...  I'll have another look at it when I get time!

Thanks for your input! 

Regards
