Over Looking NYC

Kinda lost inspiration for a bit. Been too busy with work and school, also maybe moving at the end of the week. Going back home to the good ole STL (St. Louis,Mo). Any ways I was watching a few tutorials on Youtube and came up with this. The images came from a manipulation pack I had downloaded a while back, don't remember where. The heater below the window is a photo I took in my own apartment.

Let me know what you think.
 
Not sure about the yellow edges, it does look as if it as been placed there and not really blended to look more realistic.
Keep going mate.
 
How would you suggest I blend it better? I'm currently using a flare that I duplicated a few times then used a screen blend mode.
 
Screen captured your image replaced the city view without the yellow glow, slightly off because you cropped the original 'off' slightly (no biggie).
Then added new colour layers and textures all standard shop tools.

Just my 3c.

I actually like both versions. I'm not a huge fan of vignettes, most people get them way too dark as you've done here. Otherwise, I really like this image. Very well done!

Paul, I love the avatar..........although I have a seizure every time I see it!:lol:
 
I also like both images. What I would have done with the yellow is made it softer and applied it as an outer glow -- assuming the pic is separate. If it wasn't, I would have made it it's own layer and done a low opacity outer glow with no spread, just size.

Nice work. Glad to see you had time to relax with PS.

And you better get sunglasses or something Sam; vignette glasses maybe. Most of us have already been to the ER because of Paul's avatars! Remember when Zeealex got all mad at you for that Paul? Guess you wouldn't pay her ER bill.
 
I changed the image a little behind the window. Actually had to redo it. I think it works better know. The yellow isn't as intense as before.

I agree that the yellow was too much now that I see this version. But this version loses some of the pop. I think the yellow gave a surreal look and now it seems a bit banal. Maybe somewhere in the middle?
