Description
I've long enjoyed the photography of Nikolay Here
This long unused large window reminds me of times gone by. I used the "Poster Edges" filter in the PS Filter Gallery and do appreciate a few of you aren't too keen on filters:) Now and then, I like them:)
100 years ago this east facing window provided the President of The Great Western Stove Company in Leavenworth with a magnificent view of the nearby Missouri River and the bustling rail yard that provided transportation for his cast iron stoves. The company had a capacity to produce 40,000 stoves annually...each weighing in the 450-500 pound range. Ever heard the term, iron moulders? Many of them worked for Great Western.
Here's a photo of the north side of this same building posted several days ago. Under Repair
Thanks for all your comments and favs. The pleasure remains all mine:)

Nicely done and the filter is good for this one. I only use filters every once in a while but there are some photos that just call for them - like this one. Excellent shot.

Great Dedi for a very talented guy Bill I use the filter now and again myself since Andrea used it so well. This again shows how effective it can be on textures..

I like the poster treatment but wonder how it would look if you cleaned up the sky a little:)

How can anyone not like filters? I use them all, or most, of the time. Stellar poster edge effect on the wall surfaces, Bill! It looks like little worms crawling about.

First, Nikolay is one of the best, and you can honor him anytime day or night! Second, it's always nice when the honor-or (is that English?)—when the person doing the honoring is a terrific artist himself. I agree you used ol' Poster Edges well. These old facades could probably use a little sprucing, as their natural state is probably a bit broken down. It's funny how these old industrial facades have a dreariness to them, almost inhibiting us to go near them; but with time they get a character that's wholly inviting, something neither you nor Nikolay pass up. And your filters make the play of light & texture in the upper window—boarded up with big ugly materials—all the more attractive. This whole industrial style gave birth to some terrific architects—HHRichardson is a prime example—who made poetry out of sheer rock & brick. Another fine upload of the structures where you live. I always appreciate that in your gallery...

Fantastic work.

Cool! (Quite literally, in the case of certain windows!) Interesting Postwork too! I don't think my Photoshop Elements can do this sort of thing. I need the full monty! But I quite like the effects on this building. Not sure it would work so well on an aircraft through! Great job, Bill. Rob.

Bill, Thank you for homing me to your Executive Suite and sorry for my being too inconsiderate as I have been too busy lately and can only catch up with part of RR doings. I do feel really flattered and a little confused, and I do appreciate your remembering and honoring me with this work and lots of support of my modest efforts. I do use filters a lot as part of my little bag of tricks. Corel Painter has a limited amount of filters, contrary to PhotoShop, and one has to be careful with the choice. Bill, I love your choice as it adds enough to the textures I also like the choice of colors. In other words, you did not choose the filter for filter’s sake. The title leads me into thinking about the scenery the president might have enjoyed through this beautiful wide window and how it all has changed. It also reminds me of the phrase “They sold the house with the view” but I am not sure if the choice of the second article is right as implies that the view belonged to the house and could only be sold together with it. The empty black openings present a sharp contrast to the “executive suite” window with parts of the panes being shattered. Bill, it’s a picture with a story and I really treat it as a jigsaw-puzzle element without which nothing is complete. Thank you so much again.
