Welcome to NPN Saikat. As you can see from the comments and critiques, NPN is a wonderful community. Great first post BTW. I like the graphic nature of the scene. I also like Ed’s and Bill’s tweaks.

…Welcome to the forum, and this is a spectacular first post. I look forward to seeing more of your photos. I think it could benefit from more contrast. Here is my take: first, a curves layer to darken the midtones and lighten the highlights. I played with the opacity to get what I preferred. Then another curves layer with a mask just to darken the bottom.

Hello Tony, I am sorry to have missed your comment. This is extremely helpful, I will incorporate your suggestion and re-edit it.
