    Interesting subject, and although I'm not a big fan of HDR or remapping colours, the ones you've chosen certainly give it the appropriate "look".

    The only nit that I have is the wire splitting the frame, and also the keystone distortion has been a bit over-corrected (IMHO). I did a similar thing with a local store which went out of business, and was laying empty for nearly a year; lots of photographic possibilities!

    Nice job, thanks for sharing!

    Ok I am a rank novice with photoshop, but the new content aware fill let me remove the wire (good point). It was tone mapped as the original was washed out with the sun directly behind the building - you shoot what you have in front of you!

    No truer words were ever spoken. And the challenge as a photographer, rather than as a post-processor, is to make an image with the camera that captures what you see in front of you. There's nothing wrong with taking a photographic image and turning it into something imagined, rather than seen, but I'd suggest that the resulting image is not a photograph, but is instead a photographic illustration.
