Still experimenting with making luminosity layers, inverting them and blending to improve the light quality. This photograph was taken about half an hour after the sun had set and the raw file has no light quality to it at all. I've adjusted the curves slightly, added the inverse layer with the gaussian blur set to 250% and blended on overlay. One round of noise reducton and USM at final size. As I'm not very confident with the techniques yet any C & C welcomed as usual.

40D; EF70-200 f2.8 USM @ 70mm; f8; 1/180; ISO800 … I'm sure I would have used a bean bag but can't remember!
Oh, my first post using Prophoto colour space so lots of different dynamics I'm playing with. May not work yet, but it's a work in progress! :)
