In PS I worked with selection, which I gave a slightly different treatment.

I must apologize to my Flickr friends, but I have problems with my time management ;-)

Below you can see the original shot, as it came out of the camera.

St.Elisabeth Church

HDR
Sigma 10-20 mm

The church is one of the earliest purely Gothic churches in German-speaking areas, and is held to be a model for the architecture of Cologne Cathedral. It is built from sandstone in a cruciform layout.

Construction started in 1235, the year Elisabeth was canonized. The church was consecrated in 1283. However, the towers were not finished until 1340.

I wanted to achieve a look of a color illustration.
After I had changed the original image into a pencil drawing (plug-In,filter, manually in PS)
As I painted black in a layer mask, I got the original image slowly back.
It is about time that I get a graphics tablet from Wacom.
The computer mouse feels like a piece of soap ;-)

Wikipedia says about this place:

Amöneburg (German pronunciation: [aˈmøːnəbʊʁk]) is a town in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district in Hesse, Germany. It lies on a mountain and is built around the castle of the same name, Burg Amöneburg.

Amöneburg lies on a basalt cone that can be seen from a great distance, below which flows the river Ohm, a tributary to the Lahn. From the Vogelsberg massif in the southeast, Amöneburg is split by the Amöneburg Basin, a hollow suspected of being a meteorite crater. [1] In the southwest rise the Lahn Mountains.

Findings from digs have suggested that the area was already settled in the New Stone Age. It is supposed that in Celtic times there was a town (or oppidum) here. In 721, Saint Boniface built a small monastery and a church below the castle.

Amöneburg: from the Topographia Hassiae by Matthäus Merian 1655
At the beginning of the 12th century, much of Hesse belonged to Thuringia. The Thuringian lands, however, were so widely scattered that quite often they were interspersed with estates belonging to the Archbishopric of Mainz and its vassals. The parish of Amöneburg belonged to the archbishopric until 1803.
Amöneburg's rectangular market square was laid out in this shape in the 18th century. Also worth seeing is the Mainzer Hof with its barn and manor house at the Lindauer Tor (gate).
The adjoining church is a neo-Gothic basilica. On its north side stands the 14th-century church tower with its Baroque cupola.
Around the knoll that forms the townsite runs the town wall, still preserved to a great extent. A loop road offers good views of the surrounding countryside.

Pano orchestrated by 4 shots.
I wanted to call it:"careless swing!"
I started from the left to swing, and then in the 3 shot the roof was cut off a bit.
but I still like the effect of the curved street and looking down in either direction.
