Good rendition of emulating historical photographic values. Subject cries out for the treatment perceived and executed so well.
"The Latent Image that exists before development is a truly mystical and exciting entity and some subsequent individual photographs can make the spine tingle."

Many thanks for all your kind comments.
I must admit that this version does seem to be much better than the original full colour version I'd posted earlier !
I can't quite 'put my finger on it' but I think the colours in the original confused the main subject whereas converting to 'monochrome' lets the subject come through. I'm still just a 'learner' when it comes to PP so I'm glad I tried the experiment, and thanks again for all the comments.
Best regards
Peter

Well, I'm not worried about that - main thing I feel is that the processing suits the subject, and it certainly does here I think, so a good choice! Has good atmosphere, and a lot of fine detail on the building textures.
