Creating a color effect like this is pretty simple if you know how to use photoshop. Just create a new layer, fill it with a brown color from the trees and then set the blend mode to overlay. Then change the opacity of the layer until you get the look that you want and fix the exposure and tweak.

Using a tripod at night in the rain (in winter) is a pain in the ass. I look so ridiculous fiddling with the tripod and camera in one hand and holding an umbrella in the other and trying to carry it all down the street. But it's worth it.

This image is much better when viewed large so you can see the details. View a larger version.

Can you spot the woman?
