Default Old Lifeboat Station

I have been wanting to take this shot for sometime. Yesterday, late evening, I had an oportunity. The sun was very low and a rich golden colour. Unfortunately, I was not at all happy with the result. It seemed too flat. I thought, this is an old lifeboat sation so why not tey and show it as an old picture. I used Silver Efex Pro to achiece this. Hope you like the effect.

I was not at all happy with the result.

Glayva, that which you would be unhappy with, others would be taking and giving high fives. You capture and present the scene beautifully and have selected an edit commensurate to the age and condition of the building, great work

This works well in mono, but it would be interesting to see the original colour version too.
