Used a custom WB that actually turned out a bit more blue-ish than green. Levels, curves, loads of fun with color adj, severe crop, despeckle, minor sharpening, border.
While doing the post-processing on this image, it dawned on me that it had a very phallic and SM implication. That cable almost looks like a SM whip. The word 'dominatrix' crossed my mind and from there it was easy to tie it in with the Matrix. Sexual power is an important variant of power. With this image i wanted to convey the double-meaning of how The Matrix gets its juice ;)
This was a great and thought-provoking challenge and i really enjoyed it.

cool industrial abstract. I'd like to see it with less noise though (unless that was your intent) . Check out www.neatimage.com for a good noise reduction utility.
Like the composition - though the visible section of the upright is a shame (perhaps including more of it might have been an option, make it look less like a problem?). I'm not convinced that the noise suits the image, and don't like the sharpening artefacts. oh, and I loathe the red bit of the border :-)
