Martin's main aim was to exploit the primary red colour and to bring a certain harmony with the other shots in the series [1]. The blue component of the mosaic was also emphasised.

The image was darkened to the mood of the other shots using levels in Photoshop, the image was then cropped and straightened to produced accurate alignment (the building itself is not square or level, this was respected!) [2] Midnight Filter The blue of the mosaic was strengthened using the White

Neutraliser [3], selecting the blue with the eyedropper tool. Nik Brilliance and Warmth was used to warm the red[4]. [5] Selective dodging and burning using selective sharpening with Pro Sharpener [6] and the actual mask [7].

The final image before borders were added is shown in [8]. OUTPUT Epson 3800 set for 2880dpi, Matte Black ink, media set for WCRW and Epson profile Pro38 WCRW.icm used. Media, Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Bright White 310gsm A2 sheet.
