After Hours II

Same place, different views. Had a play with Victor's light rays too.

2nd shot is really great, the textures show up nicely/great exposure balance and the uniform rust/grunge colours suit the image.
I think the 1st shot would be better had the window and light not been on the very edge....again the textures are coming through nicely.

I would echo Spike. You did really well on the processing.

I like them both. My only nit is I think it would look better for the light beams to be radiating down only rather than as if the light source is at the same height as the window in your first image.

love the detail in the 2nd one

Beautiful...

I knew you'd find something. Would you believe north of the Arctic Circle?

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.

These are both processed well. The textures look great and they're not over done at all. I think I'd take a little bit of the yellow out of #2, but that's my personal preference. The light rays in #1 are distracting to me. Like Gene suggests maybe aim them in a different direction, but also tone them back a bit. There's some light shining on the ladder rungs which may preclude using them altogether.

I still only get one image. The first one is missing.
