Over exposed correction?

[ShiftZZ]

We went to Cardiff and our guide at the stadium took our pic, the problem was the backgroud is well over exposed..

Any suggestions as to how I can fix the balance?

Naah.
Dave's pic shows the Millenium patio better.

Yes Dave, next time tell the guide to use the flash.

Like this. You mask the area you want to work on and then the adjustments only apply to that part of the image.

Photoshop is good but there's a limit!

True, you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

This is about all I can think of. There's no hope for Shifty.

Not a serious question, surely.

Actually thought the corrected photo was pretty good.

I used Camera RAW (despite it not being a RAW file). It still lets you turn up the Shadows and turn down the Highlights independently. No masking required.

Black & White is useful in these instances.. it hides a multitude of sins when you have recovered a lost image.
