Or... grey on grey ;o).

Last Monday I had to hurry to the centre of Antwerp during my lunchbreak, to collect a repaired imagetank. Since I had some time left before the departure of the train I decided to take a walk.

Then I noticed the top part of the Central Station against the rain-packed sky. I loved those different hues of grey, and their contrast with the gilded ornaments, so I couldn't resist taking a few shots.

I took this one in jpeg and raw, but couldn't find anything to alter in the raw version.

Tech talk

Straightened (which was a bit hard here).

Croppity-crop.

Downsized for TL : 72 dpi » 1200 dpi, 3233 pixels height » 800 pixels.

Applied USM 18, 40, 0; USM 150%, 0.3, 0.

Added Frank's framing.

I re-wrote my intro late in December. Feel free to read it if you have some time. One thing I'd like to repeat here is my opinion about the point system; please leave me a critique if you want, but there's no need to add points. As far as I'm concerned, spend your daily amount of rated critiques on newbies or on members that really care for points. I don't... I care about useful critiques ;o).

Anyway, thanks for stopping by !
