Ok, Ok, ok you shamed me. (btw, if there is a session tomorrow, I will be on the road).
Building.
The couple was interesting. I decided that there were several cannot miss points. The faces had to be visible and the correct color. The sky and water needed to be blue. The concrete unique graffiti needed to be brighten.
I used a selection tool and brightened the shadows of the faces and reduced the blue. The clothing suffered. I then brighten the base. Then CM to correct the color trying to balance the skin, sky and water.
What I found interesting is the same issue I run into on my own images. I like RGB to fix color casts in different parts of the curve. since skin is lighter than water, making large moves to fix the blue shadows of a light object, some of the RGB values of the water go .... green.
It is hard for me to articulate. If you put cards with white, gray, and black in the shadows and highlights of a picture, it might be impossible to fix. if the white of the shadows (which is now blue) is lighter than the black of the highlights (which is not blue), fixing the white messes up the blue. In "normal" photography, there might not be that great difference in L of important objects. The problem is not bad until we boost.

After posting, it seemed too saturated, so I went into lab and desat.

Headlights,
We have no tolerance for personal comments here, and unfortunately, you seem to be the only one doing the bashing.
I am sorry you do not find this environment an agreeable place to display your efforts. I believe you are making the correct choice in moving on.
Thank you for participating.
Mike
