Great subject matter, great lighting, great mood.

I think it might have been better if cropped tighter: little less on left, more less on top (lot less ceiling) and right (no control panel).

This does not look anything like yours but maybe you might finf it interesting.

Thanks for your comments. I shall test your recommendations in photoshop today.

You can find this same image as a free hdr workshop here: [link]

Please treat it the way you like it, upload it here and let me know. I'd love to see your treatment on it.

And thanks for the provided link. I'm just browsing through it. Interesting imagery there!

I'll be watching you.

Very magnanimous of you. I made two edited versions and posted them to my gallery.
I am new to DA so I hope I am not inadvertently violating some code of copyright infringement or the appearance of stealing. Please instruct me if I should put your/my pics somewhere else, label them differently, or take some other action.

Now to the images ....
I expected that cropping them would improve them substantially. I see that is not the case. They certainly are no better than the original. Thank you for your kind indulgences.

Those workshops are found in dA's 'resources and stock images' category so you are free to use them. Also in artist's comments I mention that people may freely download those images and do what they please with them.

I looked at your images. Nice in black and white. I would have added a tad more contrast perhaps but still they looked nice. The high ceiling gives the turbine room the kind of hall illusion it deserves.

You're most welcome.

P.S. I didn't know what magnanimous meant. Thank you.

Thank you my dear friend. It was a lovely day yesterday to visit that place once more. The sun was shining through the mostly broken windows into the turbine room.

There was a semi-pro looking photoshoot going on on the outside of the plant but I mainly focused to the insides..
