I'll post here so everyone can read.

I'm not sure what you did with your processing, but the original version wasn't too far off. The edited version has a bit too much cyan.

I'm not sure you can get the same effect that I got with the car shoot with one exposure. For your shot, you might need to do multiple exposures and blend them.

For the car shoot, I set the camera to underexpose the sky, then moved flash in to bring the cars up to match. Then I shoot a bunch of frames with varying apetures to play around with exposure, but that's pretty much it.

Either your whites or grays are off. It is definitely showing too much Blue, but that could be due to any of the other RGB channels.

Try using a Threshold layer and moving the slider all the way to the right and left to find your darkest and lightest spots in the image.
