Hi guys, this is my 3rd entry so again please go easy on me. I understand this is advanced editing but i really didn't want to disturb the beauty of the shot too much. It has been a hideous day today! Nothing but rain but i decided "what the heck" and went outside in my super cool bright red raincoat and snapped a photo of a free standing clock by my flat in Birmingham.
I edited using the following techniques:
Sorted out the light and dark using curves.
I then added a grey scale layer and dodged a copy of the original over the top to add a mysterious lighting effect.
I then cleared some of the extra noise from the lights and from the rain above the clock added stars.
I guess i was trying to get across the point that even though the rain really does suck, beyond it is always clear :).

You really don't want people to go easy on you (honest critiquing is a great way to learn this craft - speaking from 8 years of experience.) That huge raindrop (?) is rather distracting, though.
