As I was stranded with two crappy cell pics, I decided to steer into the skid and to do some practicing in PS. It's not perfect and I consider the photo as a Streak Keeper. However, to show the process:
This photo shows the starting point, where I sued the two photos from the building and auto-layered and auto-merged them in Photoshop. I could - and should - have done some manual work here. Next time. I then filled in the missing parts of the frame with gen fill and also used it to get rid of the ugly lorry and the fence in the back on the left part of the frame.
What follows this is quite and amount of texture layers. Some may remember Janey Lazenby's workshop about textures and I still love to play with them. They're really good to salvage some crappy photos. Along with the texturing went masking, lightening, darkening, vignetting, blurring, LUTs and adding light flows from the top to add colour to the glaring sunshine.

Absolutely incredible lighting edits. Has that painterly quality. Just lovely, Laney.

Very impressive transformation from the original to the submitted image. Technology is a double-edged sword, with it being able to do amazing (but also annoying) things. Your image is a very lovely so-called, streak keeper, Laney.

Love the dreamy edit and low angle. It looks like the opening shot of a historical period show or movie.
