 Singing City, the choir I am in, sang the National Anthem at a Phillies Game. I left after we sang and took a cab home. On the way back, I saw the Cirque du Soleil tent. I made arrangements with Bev to go back after church the following Sunday to shoot it and this is what I came up with.

Post: Camera Raw adjustments in PSElements 6.0. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. Sharpen. Cloned out the lines and corrected the pattern in the left top corner in the original edit. That was cropped out for this presentation. Also cloned dust and the top of the left item where the tent lines were attached. Also a little dodging and burning where the front peak meets the blue area at its top. That's about it, as I recall, except for sharpening, resizing and further sharpening.

Good idea but keep the hues in control especially over the left hand side of the image.
