Stumbled upon this old pumping station while randomly exploring at the weekend. It was crying out for conversion to black and white thanks to all the texture and subdued sunlight, so I've gone pretty photoshop heavy again for this image. I've added some selective levels and curves layers, some dodging & burning, two texture layers to add some age and grit and a tweak to the colour balance, then cropped square for a nice balance and an old school 6x6 looking composition.
I did have second thoughts about all this photoshop malarkey, but toggling it all off, back to the original photograph looses so much atmosphere and interest that this time I'm happy with the artificially enhanced approach.
