It was a terrible, rainy day at Trevi Fountain.

This warmed the appearance but makes it no less wet.

It seems that it rained almost every where.   Pompeii was really really wet.

Fitting to the weather conditions, with this I made use of both Photo Filters effects & color replacement.   Even today there is a certain feeling of destruction hanging over Pompeii.

This photograph begs for improvement.   Taken near the King's palace in Monte Carlo.

Progressive layers.

As seen to the left, I used two selection on which to apply the color curves.

Selective desaturation applied.
