 The very familiar Grand Central Station in NYC. Took this with the Architecture challenge in mind, but thought it could work as a duotone.

PP steps:
Straighten, crop, perspective correction, channel mixer (b&w), colorize, clarify, fade correction, b&w points & contrast enhance. Resized, added border, applied light unsharp mask and saved.

It's nice to have a new "personal best" score. Thanks for the many kind comments.

This somehow reminds me of the movie Utopia from the 1920's. It's the architecture and processing as well as the general scene. Nicely done image which has a lot of details in the details.

I thought this was pretty cool. You did a good job of capturing the light and I liked how all the people looked like small moving toys. Congrats on your new PB!

Christ this is an interesting photo! So many different stories! I especially liked the guy with the backback standing in front of the counter in the middle (or whatever it is). Everyones running around in their stressfull life, but he just stands there, looking like he's observing a map to figure out where the hell he is. Loved it!
