Color burn building reflection on an empty Old Town Pasadena fourth

Color burn building reflection on an empty Old Town Pasadena fourth
originally uploaded by billaday.

Not the most poetic name on this one. I wanted to remember lots of information on this shot like...

Photoshopping:
1) Channel mixer (adjustment layer): red 100%
2) Layer blending mode (for channel mixer): Soft light
3) Fill layer: Blue
4) Layer mask (for the blue): I didn't want the reflection to be too blue. btw, that's a newspaper dispenser.
5) Layer blending mode (for the blue): color burn

Interestingly enough, Old Town Pasadena was really empty on the 4th of July. I guess most people were cooking hot dogs at home.

Year 3, Day 206
