Grungy Melbourne doorway

Adjustment curve in PS and a bit of dodge and burn and a slightly desaturated red channel

Love this one. The grungier the better with this stuff.
I'm just starting a similiar thing myself, shooting old doorways and windows, starting off with churches.
What part of Melb was this?

Funnily enough - in a very undodgy area, just off High St in Armadale

Its great just to go for a walk around and snap away

I like it. The dark, dingy, seedy side of society appeals to me, so long as i don't go there. The PP you have done to this door really adds some dramatic mood.

Would a 1000mm lens + teleconverters help??

Love it, as Steve said it has a real dramatic mood to it.
I'm intrigued as to what's on the other side.

a lovely painterly mood to it
how did you get the painterly look?

I like this, good treatment of an interesting subject, good eye...

PP looks good, is there a distortion on the left pipe, like a bend in teh mdidle or is it just me, just seems to catch my eye...

Have you added any grain, wonder how it'd go with some grain and a vignette (have you already added any vignette?)...

Good image.

wendel - The dodge and burn brushes (various sizes and intensities) probably account for that. I did use a brush in overlay or vivid light mode on the grass at the bottom of the door

The contrast changes via the curves brought out a lot of variations of reds in the bricks and wood

I'v got another door in progress thats pretty good as well

Mudder - not a fan of grain and vignettes

The pipe is curved at the base - a little kink

Like this shot, Pharmer. Well done!
