So far this is my favourite of the images taken on the outing with Wessel.
This is the drum scan done by Tim Parkin. The detail is astounding.
This edit has been all about shaping the tonal information of the photograph and tuning the contrast. Some subtle refinements have also, I hope, helped the picture "rest" in the frame. This is getting very close to what I imagined when I first saw the slide on the light table.
Previous crummy scan by my flatbed scanner here for comparison:

P.S. It turns out my suspicions that I'd better photograph it soon were well founded... It was demolished soon after I took this.
