I've put quite a few hours into the editing of this shot. (The original can be found here : original) What I finally came up with was to rotate the tower until the middle beam was straight. Then I had to crop off the wires on one side since it gave the illusion of imbalance. There is some noise in the shot but everytime I remove it I lose detail in the tower, which I don't want. Lastly I dodged the highlights repeatedly, and added a ton of saturation.
It's the saturation and colors which I feel make the shot. They are outrageously bold, perhaps overly so.
Anyway after spending so much time on this, I'm curious as to what someone else would do with the shot. So I've uploaded the full-size tiff after my RAW conversions, and welcome you to download it and go nuts if you desire. The tiff is 9Mb after being zipped. You can download it here. You're welcome to post any edits you do here for everyone to see.
