In Raw -- brightness, contrast, sharpening
In PSP -- crop convert to bw, clarify on full power (5) like 6 times (causes a lot of noise and blocky patches when you do that), noise reduction, resized, border

This was one of my favorites in this challenge. I love the way you did this with the slight grain -- and dramatic smoke. I thought for sure this one would be smack dab on the front page!
This photo is very strong in black and white, although something is off with the picture it appears grainy. The two different color exhausts are nice as well.
