I thought I was quick to get this posted, guess I wasn't as fast as I thought I was.

I so like this photo. I know how I want it to look, but I'm still way off. Maybe next time...

I've already seen some great edits. Another day to go. Keep them coming!

LR adjustments including curve and perspective/horizon correction then finishing off in Silver-Efex Pro for Ilford HP5 emulsion and a custom crop in the end to contain the scene, maybe 10-15mins work

It was much going on in this image, I tried to condense it.

And now for the results:

dlneubec: You had two entries themed in blue skies and leaving much of the under exposure in the image. They me feel a bit blue too
Todd: You did a very neat job making use of the dynamic range of the camera. HNYTYT
Tas: You took a nice 3:4 crop and lifted the exposure very well. The concrete of the unfinished building ended up a bit too blotchy though.
Jcomley: A desaturated take compensated with fluorescent accents. Interesting.
MortenV: Another darkish approach. I think the sky comes out a bit better here.
JHfwp: A b+w square edit. I like it. The guy looking up is in the right place, you tilted the image a bit. Maybe you were afraid the unfinished building would fall over otherwise .
Astonm: Finally snow! Too bad it was too late for Christmas. A very fine edit as usual.
noelcm: You went for the sepia look. I think this one could use some more sign of ageing and maybe some grain.
Elpolodiablo: A contrasty Black and white. You got rid of some context making it easier to consume for the eye.
Larsw: This is a surprising one because you moved the guy looking up thereby changing the perspective of the shot. Nice find.

And now for the winner: For surprising me. @LarsW You won!

runners up are Tod JHfwp and Astonm
