Really nice colours.

Alan - can you describe more details that went into this shot? How close to sunrise or sunset? Is this multiple exposures blended? One exposure processed multiple times and blended? Layer masks? HDR processing? What did you do for the coloring? It is a wonderful image.

Walter, in the future I will make it a point to add all the Photo Info as requested.  I apologize for not doing so in the recent past.

On this image:

I shot this in the early evening and the sun had sat to the left of the frame allowing the sky area from the center to the right to go much darker.  The image is a Multi image creation (2 images).  The sky was shot on a different shoot and was exposed under a Incondesent WB.  I choose this sky image because of the porspective, as it matched the prospective of the original image.  It's a simple layer mask to combine the two images.  Because the image was shot in the early evening there is no distinct evidence that the sun is hitting the building, alowing the merge and for the image to appear normal or natural.  The original image was a time exposure to Burn in the lights on the house.

Thanks Alan. That helps. It is a good idea to disclose when there are two images merged together, especially if they are taken on different occassions. It is still an impressive piece of work.
