    Continuing the image editing thread, 81st issue.

    General rules:

    ♦ A previous round winner presents a busy or just not so interesting image, having at least some potential for different crops or visions.
    ♦ Anyone (except author of original image) can edit the presented image, up to three distinct edits in separate posts are permitted.
    ♦ All edits must be based on original image, not on another people's edits (of course borrowing ideas would not be a problem).
    ♦ Short explanations about your editing intentions and/or techniques are encouraged, but not required.

    Once the deadline for images has been reached, no new image versions will be accepted. Questions and (polite) discussions of techniques are welcome, so that we can learn from one another how certain edits were achieved.
    The edited version gathering most likes wins and its author will start next round, unless they would prefer to pass the torch to someone else.
    On the closing day for voting, if there is a draw in the number of likes for two or more edits, then the person that posted the original image will decide the winner from the the photos receiving the most votes.

    Editing rules:

    ♦ All "normal" adjustments (brightness, colors, curves etc) are permitted (both local and global ones).
    ♦ All geometric adjustments (perspective, cropping etc) are permitted.
    ♦ Artistic effects (brushes, textures etc) are allowed.
    ♦ No additions or replacements may be made to the main subject matter of the image; non-essential objects may be removed, and parts of the original image can be "moved" to a different position in the image. Sky replacements are OK unless the sky is the main subject..
    ♦ Generative AI must not be used.

    Timing:

    Get your images posted by September 30th 23:59 UTC. As always, you can vote during the entire contest plus one day after the image submission deadline. I'll post reminders.

    A more industrial look this week - with, I hope, lots of opportunities for different views.

    Here's my try. B&W seemed appropriate here ...going for a somewhat stark rendering, but still trying to maintain an attractive tonality throughout The sharp 16-50 and 40MP sensor made a significant crop easy here. Lightroom.
