Black&White Challenge: Only Negatives

I got out yesterday, Lansing MI was a ghost town. Nikon F2, Nikkor 43-86, expired XP2 super, HC110 1:63. Custom made filter with automotive matte uv clear coat, and low grade acid etch on glass for adhesion of clearcoat. I was drawn to the bar code shadow from the fence.

Another inverse created using luminosity channels.
After creating five channels based on decreasing levels of luminosity (Lights) and then five channels of their inverses (Darks), I then began using those Darks channels as layers, starting with D5 at the bottom all the way up to D1. Masks prevented the layers from being seen, and then painting on the masks revealed parts of each layer.

If I hadn't, just creating a b/w and then inverting it would have looked like this:

Which wouldn't have been bad, but that glaring brightness really bothered me.
The straight inverse didn't seem nuanced enough.
