I took away a bit of the red and green. And I corrected the perspective. Hope you like it!

Here's a split toning WS, in conventional print, this should be achieved with the help of two different chemicals baths, each one working on either bright or dark color with a distinctive tone.

Cropped the right side for 2 reasons :
- I'm happier with 3/2 format rather than 4/3, i guess this is partly because of 35mm or 6*9 practise, but I also find 2/3 steadies the image better.
- having in mind the result I didn't want the broom or brush blue/yellow colors that were coming out of the light.

Then I had in mind a split tone version that would retain some of the bright red color of the small soap box (?):
- duplicated the image into a layer,
- converted the copy to BW using channel mixer, reducing the reds and increasing the blues,
- with color balance : increased bright colors towards yellow and red, increased dark colors towards blue and green, left mid colors to initial settings.
- As I wanted the most vivid color to come up a bit (the red box), I reduced the monochrome layer opacity to 65% until red was showing up but not the other colors.

A pity there's a totally white zone which I couldn't fix at all
