This is one of those exploratory edits, wandering through the tools to see what that one will do, what if I add this, and so on. A list of Photodeluxe steps doesn't help anyone with PhotoShop, so more generic descriptions:

- Boy is selected out of first copy layer, set aside
- A layer is added of everything else darkened. Dock planks are selected and removed from this layer, then filled with light orange to simulate sunlight.
- Darkened layer is given a red-orange mask in right corner.
- Concrete posts are lightened in appropriate areas.
- Light fixtures are removed from dark layer, then first layer is cloned and colored to simulate lights at night.
- Boy is returned to top and erased in areas of shadow to let dark layer show through.
- Lots of blending and finishing touches.

Thanks, Solid_Snake
