Photoshop

 

° Stretched it for 8.75% horizontally for more impact.

° Tuned down the colour saturation and used gradient to have that only on the road in front.

° High pass sharpening with mask ( to mask out the lights, always be careful and look closely what high pass sharpning does to light sources ).

 

About

 

Went down to a place that I shot a loooong time ago when I was still handling that 400D and the Sigma 10-20mm. Love the grunge-ness of this place.

 

Used HDR just to bring out the needed details, a single shot looks good but not like this.

Used Tungsten white balance, AWB looked too yellow but custom balance using a shot of the white wall made everything look blue, which sure is not what we see. Tungsten still looks quite yellow, but that is also what the human eye sees. Manually dialing in a colour temperature would perhaps work even better.
