How could would it be to have this address?

I noticed this gate as I was walking around the Schloßberg garden. Whoever lives at 10 Castle Mountain can wake up to amazing views every morning. Directly across this gated entry is a miniature vineyard, which will be featured in tomorrow's post.

In post-processing this image, I knew the effect I wanted to achieve: namely, to contrast the blues of the sky on the left side of the frame with the warm (pink and red) tones of the sign and the walls of the house that may be seen through the gate. I used the channel mixer in Photoshop where I adjusted the blue, red, and green channels by about ten percent. I also used a layer mask (for the right side of the frame), since I didn't want to the strong blue tones to be prevalent in the right side of the frame (especially on the door handle, which I wanted to maintain a slightly warm grey tone). Finally, I added a strong vignette, as I wanted to bring the viewer's attention to the sign.
