Nice shot. would you care to share some insight as to how you did it?

Thank you all for comments!

Mark,

The original is shot with 10mm lens so I could

get the entire building up close. As I result, I first had to correct perspective. The original is taken at partially overcast midday (my only chance to get there, could not be there otherwise) and there are some clouds on light blue sky. It looked pretty flat (diffused middday light) so I overlayed sunrise sky in "hard light" mode so both skies merged allowing to see original clouds a bit. I used a mask to adjust layer transparency to keep some pink sunrise light on the building and created shading by using mask on the curves adjustment layer. At this point, it looked more like a fantasy image anyway so I added the moon from another image. It was pretty crowded so I erased some people on the direct line of sight to the building.

Best regards,

Marianna

Marianna, I do not like the pink , I think the original might be much nicer. cheers Jana

Jana,

Here is a original that has only perspective correction done.

Marianna, I have a second thought, I start to like the PINK ! cheers Jana
