For this photograph, I wanted to brighten the dark area behind the fence, but the sky was very light, so what I did was darken the sky (including the spots on the roof showing the sky behind it). Then, I was able to lighten the entire photo a bit so that accounts for the dark almost stormy look of the sky.

The roof of the dome is gold-leafed, so this is why it's so bright.

Thanks for any comments you might have on this photo.
