I grabbed this shot to finish off one flash card, but rather liked how it came out in post-production; not only do the lines of the image, coupled with the grating of the stairs, have a certain visual appeal to them, but there is also a certain colour contrast which I enjoy every time I see it. Yes, most of the image is gray, but that just makes the orange stand out more by comparison, I think.

Edit-wise, then, the primary adjustments were to the shadows and the orange (which I boosted fairly substantially). I also applied a fair bit of , which helped with the resolution of the cross-hatching of the grating.
