This is the location / image that got me started on the B&W architectural thing. I made the mistake of not leveling my camera in the depth plane - so there are unresolvable problems with the verticals. The building has mainly sodium lighting so conventional B&W conversion gave rather flat results. Glad to say SEP is a lot better. Hope you enjoy, and thanks for looking. 5D 40mm f16 @4secs ISO 100  |

Good range of tones, and very little noise in the shadow areas. Nice to see that you had the gate open, as this lets our eye into the image. Although the lighting looks harsh, it has given some nice shadow areas. I may had been tempted to crop a little bit off the left, to lose that dark strip of shadow area.

Thanks Barry,
I will give your crop suggestion a try.
BTW I found that SEP did a much better job when I did a white balance correction on the colour original. Luckily, there is a modern white (ish) light fitting (unlit) above the door. Using that made a dramatic improvement to the conversion.
