This photo was taken in Serpong, just South of Jakarta. Inspired by the colours of a Jakartan dusk, I tried to recreate the pink wash using the context of a cityscape. The sky casts a lazy morning glow, bringing warmth to the otherwise blue existence of the concrete city.

- Cleaning – Cleaned out minor details like a lamp post and a tree.
- Red Channel Mask (Highlights and Shadows) – Brought the contrast up to make the clouds more visible.
- Colour Balance – Make the photograph cooler.
- Selective Colour Filter – Make certain colours stand out more.
- Solid Colours – Tinted the photo with the main colours of blue and pink.
- Building – Coloured the two stray buildings blue to blend in with the rest of the foreground and buildings.
- Gradient Mask and Solid Colour – Added colours using gradient as it creates a more interesting composition, and mimics a film burn.
- Noise – Added non-monochromatic grain for a more film feel.
