Brilliant!Perfect in every way

fantastic! wow!

great shot – bravo!

I love the way the light is falling on the subject.

the colours and the shadows are fab, really cool shot well done

Looks great Peter!

Peter, this has so many cool elements… the contrast of the grilled steps against the smooth wall, the straight verticals against the curved railing, the shadows playing with all three… and that electric blue against the grey, and the lighting to set form to the curved wall. It’s hard to imaging what construction would have a stairway like this and I wonder if you didn’t create it yourself. Either way, you have created here a masterpiece in composition, lighting and color balance. It’s a totally cool image!

I love the graphic nature of this piece… the steel tones are cool and that blue diagonal line just makes it…

superb vision

This is just so perfect!!

Many thanks to all viewers/commentators, and billyboy in particular.
A nice and shiny large galvanised fuel storage tank was the main original subject. Many of these are often coated with some kind of paint, so I was quite fortunate to capture the clean metallic finish.
The image above, is a crop from the original frame. The round shape of the tank allowed me to apply a curve adjustment layer to emphasise the darkening near the edges. The handrail was actually bright yellow and didn’t stand out very much at all. An extreme hue adjustment delivered the bold blue colour.
I’m definitely not a Photoshop expert, but this result was achieved in less than 20 minutes.
A case of “seeing beyond the capture” and come up with something special. A welcome break from doing landscapes!

A special thanks to RedBubble for featuring this image on the Home Page.
As a RB newbie, I feel especially honoured.

great lines, and use of selective colour…

very nice

this is stunning – the lines, shadows, light and colour all fuse to create a complex yet simply presented shot – well done

Well worth the 20 minutes of PS! A very striking image.
