For those familiar with the venue, yes, I took some liberties with the appearance of this staircase at St. Louis University Museum of Art. I thought I'd try the Photoshop CS5 content aware brush to remove a statue that sat dead center on the floor. The tool created some twisted tiles that I rather liked. The next step was to add some grunge by processing the single image in Nik HDR Efex to exaggerate texture. Finally, Nik Vivenza brightened the picture about 10%.
The monochrome conversion is from Nik Silver Efex Pro using a custom preset I call "Leica I" that emulates the fine grain 35mm film stock and silver rich paper available circa 1930, with blue/sepia split tone added in Lightroom 3.3.
