Some vignetting is natural - I told PS to "autolevel" the shot and it did create not only lovely noise, but a bit of vignetting. Then I added a bit more. As best I could tell, this ladder overlooked what may be a track for those remote controlled cars. Or something like that.
I totally agree that this has a post apocalyptic feel to this. Like the bomb just went off and and the hazy aftermath is floating around the desolation that is left. Awesome shot!
The BW makes a stronger statement with the ladder, but I prefer the mood of the colour version. (I am always delighted to see both versions). - The tones in the colour version are so warm and subtle, and I feel more 'there' in it.
This is very spooky and sort of dream like... could even think of it as a nightmare. It reminds me of those "end of the world" movies where only a handful of people survive some ungodly accident. I love the noise and the vignetting, they add to the unreality of the image.
This has an 'eerie' feeling to it, quite mysterious, and unknowing.
I like the grain as it add to the effect. Also kind of lonesome but that a good thing..... Yes, I like it a lot.....
It stands like a monolith. I can hear the 1968 A Space Odyssey score playing in my head. A bit spooky in the something isn't quite right kind of way. What happens if you climb up there?
