Completed...

And this is the finished product. I used inner and outer glow to create the neon sign along with the glowing footsteps. I painted the trashcans and blended the colors together, and use gradient layers along with clouds to develop the fog-like scene. I used adjustment layers to change the scene from day to night.
My progress so far with my final project...

This is the photo I'll be working on for my final. My hope is to give it a full transformation...

My London Tower Matte...

This is the finished product of my work. I used Adjustment Layers of Hue/Saturation, Brightness/Contrast, Levels and Curves to match the look for nighttime. I then added a Photo Filter and Defringe to finely tune it.

My Planet Matte...

This is the finished product of my work. I used Gradient Overlay to give the background a cosmic feel, and added three layers of clouds to reduce the blackness in the background. I used the burn tool and a color balance on Jupiter itself, and an outer glow on the shine coming off the planet, before adding a dulled and faded ray of light.
