This is the original photo that I started out with. I find the composition to be interesting and balanced, and I really liked the splash of colour that contrasts with the otherwise monochromatic setting.
Using adjustment layers, I altered the image to suit my taste.
The first thing I did was alter the highlight/shadow levels so that the photo looked more bright.
After that, I then altered the colour levels to make the photo appear a little colder in colour so that it contrasted with the red in foreground and background.
I found that after altering the colour levels of the photo, it appeared to be saturated and bright. It was a little too bright for my taste, so I lowered the saturation and increased the luminosity slightly, this way the photo wasn't as intense, but still had the contrasting colours without the burning of the retinas.
