The One Four Challenge hosted by Robyn G of the blog ‘Captivate Me’ goes on and for May I chose a picture of the London Parliament. Here is my edit for the first week:
The original picture:
My steps:
I selected the area around the building and turned it into monochrome. Then I inverted the selection so the building was selected. I set the brightness and contrast only on this area to highlight the building more. I copied the whole image on a second layer and on this layer I added a strong red filter. I went back to the picture on the first layer I added a layer mask and brushed over the sky with the black brush. With this I revealed some red from the second layer and got a pink sky.

love the pink sky!

nice editing, Until I read you did some selective coloring I wouldn’t have noticed. I like that you added some pink to the sky as it really brings the picture together.
