This is a shot of an industrial building in the middle of a trainyard.
To me, the trainyard/industrial area is a pretty harsh environment and the capture of the word 'hate' on the train sums it up quite nicely.

This is only one photo although it seems like a hdr shot.
Only editing i did was minor level adjustments and minor contrast adjustments

Nice shiny industrial look for so little processing. Good exposure.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Everyone seems to think its a HDR pic. It is NOT. I did VERY LITTLE post processing, the original picture looked very similar to this copy with slightly less contrast.

Hey, not too bad!
Didn't get a chance to vote, but I wish I would have!

I like the cartoon like colors but well the image is just a bit too busy for my taste. 6 from me.

This is my favorite type of editing, first excellant choice of a place to shoot, 2nd the editing is right on. Is this like an urban acid type? Great work. 9..

looks like some sort of micro-brewery, rather than the trainyard it is. Great colour palette and HDR(?) processing

Excellent! Sort of sneaks up on me :-)

I like the cartoonish quality. 7

I like the photo, and it's representation, but I'm not sure why you choice the title. I see it on the boxcar, but I can't make the connection - do you hate the work because it's harsh or you hate the Canadian Pacific Railway for having harsh work environments?

Wonderful colors and tones here, very vivid without being overdone. Good overall composition, interesting to study without being too busy.

Looks like HDR to me, which i'm not usually a fan of.
Nice subtle subject, nice colours, but nothing to 'wow' me.

I am very interested to know how in the heck you did this!!! The colors are superb, the clarity is perfect!

Not sure I get the challenge tie-in, but I love the shot.

Great image and story 9

Awesome post editing. What colors. I'm anxious to see how you did it. Almost like a photorealistic painting. IT seems a bit chopped to me. I'd like if it were panned back and we could see more of the scene.

This is very "beautiful" in it's finish. Certainly a harsh environment, but I think the processing has beautified it and the result is cosmetically pretty. All the patina has been stripped.

To me, it looks a little over-sharpened in places. You could have taken the blur tool and run it along the pasted edge of the top of the train car. Interesting otherwise.

took me a while to make sense of the title.. got it now!

Happy New Year! - 8
