Hi Erik, I used the gradient tool in Gimp. I added a transparent layer and with the gradient tool gave less exposure to the top and left of the picture.Great composition and great that you've made the sky dark. How did you do that?

Thank you, Pan. Interesting, I've never heard about "Gimp". Is it a kind of Photoshop?Hi Erik, I used the gradient tool in Gimp. I added a transparent layer and with the gradient tool gave less exposure to the top and left of the picture.

Yes, it is a free programme you can download. It doesn't do many things like Photoshop but it is free and most of the basic functions are there.Thank you, Pan. Interesting, I've never heard about "Gimp". Is it a kind of Photoshop?

@Erik van Straten, as @p.giannakis mentioned, it's a free software. It's open source and works on different operating systems like macOS, Windows, and Linux. I use it to make trichrome images, combining three filtered black & white layers into a color image. For example, these three black and white frames, shot through the red, green, and blue filters:
