Taken at the Quarry Market in San Antonio. This used to be a cement factory and when it was converted to a high end shopping area much of the interesting old industrial architecture was salvaged.
3 layers. Normal, multiply and overlay. Most adjustment done in RAW before import into PS/cs. Adj.. levels, USM, selective colour. Touched up the area behind the "R" which was white and didn't provide enough contrast.
Cloned away a small portion of another tower on the right.

The perspective on this one is among the best of the challenge. Should do very well. The irony of the word "Earth" with the smokestacks should not go unnoticed.
