I photographed this corner of a glass building downtown Toronto (the Royal Bank Plazza) in full sun on a clear day. The original came out very greish and kind of boring.
So in Photoshop, I converted the photo to grey scale, adjusted levels and contrast, inverted it, converted it back to RGB (still looking grey scale), in the hue and saturation window clicked colorize, and adjusted the hue slider to full red colour, and the saturation slider to 100% (all these perfectly legal adjustments according to DPC rules).
This whole process made the grey parts of the image red, and anything white became black, and very dark parts became white to pink.
I came across this process by total accident by fulling around with the hue and saturation sliders on another grey looking RGB image and decided to try it on this relfection.
I will post additional versions of the building in my portfolio for fun.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments !! I had no clue that I got a ribbon until I got back from my vacation. Very pleasant surprise for me.
Many thanks to all of you who voted.
For those who wanted to know what it was and how was it done, I have posted note in the comments space below the picture.
Wow! Nice leading lines and the color is wonderful! Some good right angles also. This is one of the better photos that I've seen for right angels. Good Job!
Very nice. Love the bizzare lighting and the red against the black background, with the white thrown in. I'll like to see how this one does. 8 from me anyway, good luck.
Very cool. I like it... I kind of wish the middle went straight up, it sort of tilts to the right, but it's not a bid deal. I like this photo... artsy and interesting. -9-
I like the middle of this one, but the bottom is a bit "dirty" and overexposed. If you'd cropped off the bottom 1/4 or so I would have scored it higher. 6.
