Open the original photo in the AliveColors image editor.
Add blues to the shadows. To do this, create a new Levels adjustment layer above the background layer by clicking the button located in the Layers panel and selecting Adjustment Layer -> Levels.
Change the adjustment layer settings. Select Blue in the channel list and increase the black point value in the Output Levels until the shadows appear bright blue.
