Former Pillars of Power

The GM building in downtown Detroit.



It's incredibly stylish, futuristic, imposing, and impressive. Also very desolate. Quiet. And just seemed to lack any energy. It was an overcast day and the middle of the day on a Saturday yet there was no one around the building or even inside it except a few tourists like us...

This is a very cool looking photo.....I don't know what kind of treatment you did, but it did work.

Thanks everyone!

Oh, and Ella1267, I did exposure blending to get everything looking good first (overcast sky and such made it a difficult shot to get without totally blowing out the sky...) and then the rest was using various textures in various blending modes to get the effect. The original image was too...boring with a flat grey sky. But that also allowed me to use textures to give the overall image a better sense of age.
