On Final - HongQiao Airport, Shanghai

michswiss

I am based in Shanghai and find myself flying somewhere in China most weeks for my work. Most domestic flights from Shanghai arrive and depart from HongQiao airport, a smallish (for China) airport on the west side of town.

I have recently begun taking shots out the window while taxiing, taking off and landing. I captured this shot on Wednesday while on final approach. It was cloudy and murky, but I liked the buildings and feeling the pp created. All C&C welcome.

1) Shanghai Cityscape

2) Post apocalyptic processing (too much?)

Thanks for the comments guys. I felt a power to the first conversion that somehow represented a different version of Shanghai that I understand but is hard to express. The second is a happy coincidence of exploring the RAW file to see what might show up. If you know the Shanghai skyline, you'll recognise several of the buildings.
