Thanks guys.

Firstly I burnt in the sky a little,

then I used curves and layers to make a few adjustments.

then Used a red and an orange photo filter to get the right colour, then another levels and curves adjustment to get the sky right. I dropped these four layers into a folder, and applied a layer mask.

Then alot of time and patience to mask everything but the sky. Took ages because of all the detail on tower bridge. Anyway, I did this with 90% opacity (to get a little colour through), I then unpmasked the water by about 50% opacity to look like the colour was reflected slightly.

Then finally, a little more burning, especially on the bridge, then a little USM.

And Voila.

Hope thats clear enough.

Very nice, I like what you have done with the image.

That's really good art. I've done much smaller things like that in the past, and know how long they took, so this must have been very irritating to get right. Well done! It has a nice Sci Fi feel to it :)
