The pic does have a very artificial feel to it. The smokestacks (or steamstatck or whatever they are called) pipes almost look like CGI. I'm sure it's not a CGI pic, but I do suspect some contrast tweaking. It's nothing major, but it'll be nice to know. Otherwise, a very stunning and encyclopedic

In answer to your questions, as far as I know, the photographer did not alter this photo at all with image processing tools. The strange illumination is due to

By the way, picture peer review desperately needs more eyeballs and more opinions. Personally, I think it's a good thing to have, but it's just not fair to tell people to nominate there first when very few people will look at it, and it might not even get a single bit of feedback. Help make
217:- What kind of processing was done on this? There's something about it I can't put my finger on--the first time I looked at it, I thought it was a painting--a sort of surreal quality, maybe some contrast tweaking? I'm leaning towards support but that aspect makes me a little uneasy. --

309:
The lighting is probably it's strongest point (the composition is nice too though) - it transforms a pretty dull scene into a great shot. Original image however is a bit soft, especially at full res. Easily fixed however
