Rusty I-Beams

This picture is really ugly in color, but a little more interesting in B&W.

For reference, these I-Beams are about 12" tall.

Interesting shot. I like this one alot.

Heavy duty stuff! Nice to take a closer look at these and see the artistic side of I-beams. I like these - but I definitely have had my fill of rust colored beams - congrats for using b/w.

Hey, that ain't rust...that's corrosion! Way past rust.

But I like the shot.

I like it.

Is there somebody standing in the back? (on the left side of the picture)

I could almost swear I see a pair of legs.

Belmondo, can you give us the run down on the processing of this shot. I do like the clarity and lack of noise. Am I right in thinking you have selected one channel in PS? Would appreciate knowing your workflow on this.

The picture was already pretty contrasty to start. I used Channel Mixer with the monochrome box checked. I just kept fiddling with the sliders until I got close to the look I wanted. I then fine-tuned it in curves. The whole thing took maybe 5 minutes.

very beautiful!!!
i like that shot a lot

Are these the same I-beams you were hanging upside down from when you took the picture for your new avatar?

I like this pic a lot,...
But I think you should title it,...

Great shot. and B&W is definitely the way to go no these type of photos, Love it!

Great shot..............it must be nice to be young enough to bend down that far!!!!!

I stopped bending in the middle many years ago. Now, I use one of these

Not sure why, but I keep coming back to this picture. It is becoming a favorite. Usually like stuff right away. Excellent work. It is the kind of image that belongs on the wall.
