Ray of Light

Before

After

I just learned a new trick even though for others this effect is very well known. In order to introduce the ray of light effect to the picture, of course I have to use layers and layer masks. You can refer to the tutorials available on the net on how to make your picture more dramatic by adding ray of light. The one that I used for my photo is from Danny Tang...you can access the web here.

If you notice, there are several things that I remove from the first picture. Most of it, I used clone brush and healing brush. Sometimes you have to omit certain things in a picture which distract viewer from the main subject…in which in this picture is the house itself.
