Sleepless in Barcelona

My original shot of Tibidabo, Barcelona, was a real failure, so I wanted to do something about it.

This is the original:


And here's the result, after some photoshopping:


What I did was the following:

• Cropped the image
• Adjusted Levels and Contrast
• Added a new Colour Layer (blue)
• Added some Gaussian blur
• Combined the layers (saving the original, just in case, of course...)
  
• Duplicated the layer + changed its Blending Mode into Linear burn, Opacity 49%
  
• Painted the moon with the Brush tool, Soft Round 200 px (approx. 90% opacity)
• Created the bats in Illustror + placed them into Photoshop (File > Place), right below the blue Colour Layer
  
• Added the Text Layer as the topmost layer
