PP Challenge #44 - Coal Silo

Welcome to the Post Process Challenge #44

I took this in a spare hour at Avonmouth Docks in Bristol, UK while acting as a taxi driver for my son.

I like the structure and angles but as you can see it's just a little dull. No brief on this one, be as creative as you like, let's see if you can surprise me.

For reference here is the original



I'll call 'last orders' on this one on Friday 24th June.
Best of luck

Okay, so this is my first time trying my hand at this challenge. I decided to go for a graphic look.

Taking the Silver Efex Pro 2 approach with lots of structure, contrast and selective colourization. Also an adjustment to the angle and lots of spot/dust removal. Fun image!

First time trying this kinda challenge thing ...I practiced some moderate sharpening on this picture and changed a bit of colour balance/curves. Fun stuff!

It's amazing to see how much detail some people can bring out though! I have lots to learn!

THis is a lot of fun - even though I posted just 1 image - I spent a long time experimenting.

I didn't mean to include my watermark on my entry, this is the first time I have ever managed to successfully see it on an export (obviously it needs some work) and it isn't even my shot - just my interpretation!

Weird, very Escheresque (what was that?) while seeing it depth reversed, I mean... kind used in psychological ‘projection’ tests.

Wow! "Escheresque", I'm thinking I should get that on a T-shirt or straight jacket.
