An orange city

Description

I made the initial photo last December in Hamburg (Germany). I cropped it, turned it into a negative and played with the image balance (in MS Photo Editor) until I got this result. I did not use any other effects.

Tiia- Hello there. I actually love both the original and the fun one. The orange is so cool and reminds me of a filter I have called night vision. Outstanding lighting and clarity on the original and love the orange glow on the other. Both have wonderful details and composition.
have a great day, take care, be safe. #5621931
