Default Sword Fight

I started out with a SOOC .jpg.

First I cloned out the sign middle left, and the chain fence.

Created a Gradient Map layer adjusted to taste, and did a touch of masking.
I actually did this 3 times.

Created a new Curves layer, and did a bit more masking.
I did this 2 times.

Added a Chanel Mixer layer.

Merged all this together.

Then added a lens flare on the swords.

Finished off with a Gaussian Blur layer set to 1.6, then adjusted the opacity to 35%.
