Pushing the limiits

[Grumpy John]

Having a bit of a play around with masks and curves today. Trying to create a bit of drama in an otherwise bland image.
I would appreciate some feedback on this edit, thanks.

Original image.

Hi Grumpy, I would be happy with the increased brightness and colour in the building but find the sky a bit overdone.

Thanks for your feedback Hans. I'm trying to get a bit more drama in the clouds without over doing the blues.

I think Isac has something on this. You could also ouse a 50% grey mask and overlay mode to lighten darken with a black or white brush.
