after 2 hours - my 1st PS attempt at layering

Finally... from this.....

to this... after 5 layers? i still dunno how to navigate through PS. such a maze. but it's a good attempt for self taught fellow. i followed this from coffeeshop and tweaked a little...


instructions:-
1. Color Fade Layer: Add a gradient map adjustment layer, black to white. This turns your image B&W. Adjust the opacity to fade the color but not completely remove it. For the image above it was set to 40%.

2. Purple Color Fill Layer: Add a color fill adjustment layer and put #4d1c5d in the bottom space. Put this layer in Screen blending mode and adjust opacity to taste (I used 100%).

3. Yellow Color Fill Layer: Add a color fill adjustment layer and put #faec0a in the bottom space. Put this layer in Color blending mode and adjust opacity to taste (I used 15%).

4. Ivory Color Fill Layer: Add a color fill adjustment layer and put #fdfceb in the bottom space. Put this layer in Normal blending mode and adjust opacity to taste (I used 10%).

5. Bright Blue Color Fill Layer: Add a color fill adjustment layer and put #0f1977 in the bottom space. Put this layer in Exclusion blending mode and adjust opacity to taste (I used 25%).
