Photo: An heavily overcast day made the original capture very flat. I was standing on my toes, holding the camera over my head to avoid traffic cutting into the stairs.
Photoshop:A slight crop to straighten up the lines, a curves contrast tweak, a 2nd curves move to darken the scene, a hue/sat tweak to desaturate the yellow in the concrete facade to make it colder. Oh, how hard it is not to use those layer masks...
