Challenge 25: Champagne and Petrol

[tinny]

Wow, that was a difficult one. I tried some straight-up Gradient Map on Normal, and while they look kind of impressive, they're just way too dark. I would have needed bright-red-on-black source materials to make it work, but I think those I chose were just not contrasty enough. Ah well, I guess this palette beat me. *g*

Ikr? That posterized look really appeared by itself, once I applied the Gradient Map. I really do like that last alt. (The farther away I pushed it from the original palette colors, the better it looked. :))

Thank you so much! It was very challenging, and even if I am not entirely happy with the results, working with the palette was fun.
