The concept is simple - to create a nice looking image out of something inherently ugly, like the industrial object here. This is a direction and style I've been working in for the last three years, something I call "Industrial Fine Art". This particular photo was quite simple in execution - the right angle and composition, proper light (or absence of sunlight), modest clarity and contrast and then some clean up in Photoshop.

Thanks Chris. This one indeed is my favorite.
Wonderful composition German. I appreciate your restrained editing, allowing the natural beauty to tell the story.

Great job again, German! I love your "grimescapes", among my favourite photographic genres. This image is particularly strong with its abstraction and strong graphic composition. Well done.
