Thanks all for the feedback.
This was actually an attempt at editing with the color levels/curves, actually did not dodge or burn anything.
I essentially made copies of the images and adjusted levels for foreground and background till I liked what I saw. Then using layer mask I brushed away the overlay image to "merge" the two. I totally see the glowing edge on the building, there was more, I missed that bit.
The water tower was a pain as I went in and brushed on each support so that it did not show up as a silhouette image, like the top half of the tree in the other.
Again, thanks for input, I appreciate the time y'all took to reply. I shall continue to practice.
