This was in a car yard, which was closed, so I couldn't get in and had to shoot through the fence. So i was pretty much restricted to this angle alone.
It's an HDR plus Orton effect.
And a building at the rail workshops in Ipswich, in colour and greyscale.

Nice stuff.
I really like the look/effect on the first one. It really improves the photo.
I prefer the color version of the building, very dramatic and moody.
Great job.

Great pictures all Rabid!!
#1 Lovely subject and great treatment. I haven't work with Orton in an HDR interesting combination.... Love the colors in this one.
#2 Love your work with lines in this one!!... I like a lot the textures... The sky is great! Lots of details in the clouds...
Personally I like more the color one than the sepia version, but the sepia version gives more detail of the building.
I like a lot architecture pictures!
Thanks a lot for sharing...

Lovely; I'm a sucker for this stuff.
I wear my ignorance on my sleeve here: can somebody tell me what the Orton effect is?

....
I'm assuming at this stage that it's not something to do with a homosexual playwright of the 1960s :|
Mighty interesting if 'twere, I suppose.
er...so intriguing, I asked it twice! Sorry...

as for the building, I also prefer the color, mono is too blant.
