That's also an excellent (and surprising) result. Having seen the HDR version, I think I prefer that one. Seems a little cleaner, as far as the building on the left goes.Just for giggles, I ran the same image though Topaz Adjust set to Spicify and here is the result:
Woody: Thank you kindly sir. The sepia image is much much better than the original.Rayyan
I love this as is but I would love to see it toned sepia to reproduce the look of a very old photo. Just a thought about alternative processing
By the way I think the word graissage means "grease" so this may be a lube station
Cheers

Hermann: My sincere thanks to you for your generous comments.Rayyan: Although in a hurry, I have to say, one more time two great pictures, you share with us meditoriously. Particularly like the b/w conversion on the first one, as it matches the content of the capture in a perfect way for my taste.
Lloyd: I honestly feel honored by your comments.Beautiful image, perfectly composed.
Hi Graham. You are absolutely right sir. One of the reasons I avoid LHR and Frankfurt!Rayvan: I think you'd be surprised at how many international flights board/disembark this way even at major airports such as Heathrow, Frankfurt and others.
Color Is Definitely Poppin! Nice Comparisons!More fun with HDR Efex Pro: Single shot HDR conversions.

Thanks Steve. This app is the easiest one by far to get pleasing results (at least to my eye, YMMV). One interesting thing to note is the splash of color on the tree and building on the right were caused by a yellow cornpopper on an Elections truck.Color Is Definitely Poppin! Nice Comparisons!
Indeed, they do... yes indeed. :thumbup:Went to a concert again

I am used to embark or disembark from a plane using a jetway. I am sure most of you are too. Maybe not in villages, but most airports. At least international ones.
At one such airport we were herded straight into a bus!! No, I said. Not the hotel, I am catching a flight, I said.
Get in, he said like a well rehearsed routine.
Between the airport gate and the bus door was a few meters and it was raining.
Pouring really. We all ran. Some fell. Some rushed over them. Get out of the rain!!
We arrived at the plane. The doors opened. Baa..Baa..everyone got out in the rain. There were people lined up on the stairs to the plane. Soaking wet.
Get down, he said. No I said. I came to fly not to swim!! Not till the rain stops or you get me an umbrella!
He waited till I got a clear run inside the plane. I passed the time taking pictures.
p.s I was flying TO[ Switzerland.
:thumbs::bugeyes::salute::angel: Superb!Went to a concert again
