Last Saturday was the annual "Friends of the Ferries" river and dock cruise, 5 hours on a Mersey Ferry up and down the river and around the docks, IT RAINED ALL DAY! The light was awful, it was dull and dreary just not the day to take photographs, but you do and then try to revive them a bit with the processing.
In Langton Dock was this impressive Victorian Structure, it is a Pumping station, originaly used to maintain the levels in the docks and work the adjacent dry docks. The original image was flat and grey, even HDR work did not improve it so the obvious thing to do was make it even worse.
