 Abandoned Copper works, left to ruin.

Weather was crap, so did not want to stay out in the rain with the camera longer than necessary, which ultimately meant I didn't get what I wanted!

Buildings were secured off, so shot through a fence on a tripod.
Slight crop and rotation. Wanted to "Skew" to adjust the perspective effect as I had to shoot upward slightly, however I don't think it is legal in Basic Editing?

Added Brightness and Contrast and Selective Colour adjustment layers.
USM and Save for Web.

I like to composition, however the image feels oversaturated. The power of each color is unbalanced in comparison to its neighbor.

lots of textures to this image, muted color contribute to the sense of abandonment
