PP Challenge 140 -- Sac-town Smack Down

The K-S1 has a bad rap as a poor camera. But it takes stunning photos, and that's really what counts. I thought it might be fun to give everyone a chance to get their hands dirty with some K-S1 photo editing. Here's the image we'll be using:



This is the CalSRTS Building in Sacramento, California. There's a LOT that can be done with this image and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do. Here are the download links:
Larger (but not full-size) jpg: https://www.pentaxforums.com/content/uploads/files/1/1200/PKS11921e.jpg
Raw: http://pfpho.com/ks1/SamplePhotos/PKS11921.DNG

We'll call this contest officially over at 12:01 AM (your time) on Sunday 22 March 2015. I'll aim to have the winner announced that afternoon.

Have fun. I think there's a good deal to work with in this image in terms of post-processing and raw editing.

Indeed a very good pic, if only the 31mm F1.8 would be a kit lens

my 'more normaller' entry:


and a few experimental:





(wishing I would have straightened the perspective before I started tweaking this one, but it was too late by the time I realized it...)

edit: well I flirted with the idea of doing something like the last one again, but correcting the perspective first, but the attempt didn't go in that direction once I corrected it... I got to this point:



and then this happened instead:



at least it's fairly straight lines, right?
