Challenge: Grunge (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Nikon D300
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED
Location: Southern Cross Station, Melbourne, Australia
Date: May 18, 2009
Aperture: F14
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/250
Galleries: Abstract, Transportation
Date Uploaded: May 18, 2009

 The Image: Took this on Monday, my day off. I like the drama of the lighting and the leading lines.

The Edit: Thanks to Advanced, I was able to use saturation adjustment layers to tint the image and bring out some creativity. Some USM, and some dodge and burn. Levels adjustment.

The Prediction: It will go either way...bomb, or surprise...I reckon it might bomb.

Post: Thank you everyone. This was taken at Southern Cross Railway Station and is the tops of some of the regional network trains. I am happy with the result.
