Thanks Edward, this was actually a bright and sunny day. So the challenge is to try and turn a boring shot into something more interesting :-)

 

Thanks for looking.

Often a problem that I have.

 

This has transformed into an attractive shot - I particularly like how you've kept some variety and natural tone in the light playing on the left side of the image, which is hard to do without distortion as PS applies the sepia effects

Aye, there's always been an Eckersley at Eckersley Mill, and by God there always will be............

 

 

Grim up North? I'll say.

Steve -

 

That is quite lovely, and I like the amount of toning. However, I think the photo is now just a bit too dark. Here's a quick, rather inperfect other interpretation.

Thanks Stuart. I agree that you're version looks more natural - or at least as natural as a sepia photograph can be :-), but this was exactly the kind of result I was trying to avoid. It does make an interesting comparison though, so thanks for sharing it.

I think in this one the photo beats photoshop!
