Urban Detail #3, HDR

This is a new version of a previously published picture of a snow blade at the Museum of Transportation, starting with the color version below and converting to monochrome in Nik Silver Efex Pro using a custom split tone preset.

Nik HDR Efex found quite a bit of color.  I find that the exaggerated color gives me more to work with in the monochrome conversions.
