    dude this is so good.It begs to be shot on 4x5 and printed then 4ft by 5ft.
    My one complaint though is it's not level! With that many straight and horizontal lines the horizon should be spot on. Use the 'measure' tool in PS (hidden below the eye dropper) and draw a line matching the slant of the main beam. Then go 'image > rotate canvas > arbitrary' and it sets the rotation for you. Click OK and crop the excess. Bingo! Perfect lines.

    I shot this with a Nikon dslr handheld out of the car on a ramp. Really dangerous. Images like that need to be shot using a tripod. Lines can't be straightened properly, I could have corrected the perspective and distortion using Lens Corrections or other tools but the results didn't fit my bill and I started to appreciate the tension created by the slightly oblique lines. Film cameras (expecially medium or large format ones) would have managed better the contrast here. Thank you for appreciation.

    Terrific shot! So mind boggling complex.
