Taken during an early evening stroll. I dropped the sharpness down a bit and softened it in PP which I think helps with the mood. What say you?

Maybe a whisker more light on the buildings, and on that patch of ground this side of them, the sky could just be winning at the moment. Not sure about that strange selective red tinting.
 
Thanks guys.
Toby, me neither. Mostly because I didn't tint it! This was a straight d&b so I'm baffled by it. That said, on looking at it, I kinda like it. But I really don't know how it got there.
Anyone got any ideas?
 
Great mood Steve. It's difficult to think about the red tint without futher info i.e. how did you convert it; how did you use the history brush at all, etc?
 
I think it would be more appealing as a straight b+w Steve, but I do love the mood you have created.
 
Thanks everyone.

Keith, I processed this as I always do; B&W conversion layer, various edits, vignette, flattened it, made a copy, dropped a D&B layer on top and D&B'd it until I was happy. This tint isn't on the master copy so I really don't understand.

I'd you use the history brush for dodge and burn !
 
You have different blend modes (states) to work with, also if you use the HB to dodge it tends to lighten light tones quicker than surrounding dark tones and the opposite when burning darker tones.

I am sure we have a video on using it on the forum
