| Darkening the backdrop such that the industrial elements disappear really help the fence and the lock & chain become the standout main focus. And wow, what a difference converting the color version to the B&W because now with the dynamic range in contrasting tones the textures really pop visually. The eye more readily sees the pits, spots, and rust on the fence pipe in the B&W than it does in the original. You took the mundane from a color snapshot and added visual pop & grunge feel with the B&W final composition. |

Love it, I have a very similar shot that I snapped recently. It was at the Eastern State Prison. Something about old locks and chains just gets to me.
I went back and checked your motivational poster processed shot ... you got a lil ol 9er from me.
I really like what you've done with this subject. |

First I see gwe21's submission, then I moved on to  timfythetoo's, and now yours. Three amazing examples of B&W processing. Added all three to my favorites so that I can refer back and see how I'm progressing. |

| This is one of those edits where you wish this is how it looked in real life. It suits the subject perfectly. |
