Appealing Pic, reminds one of the topic at hand, unique post processing makes it look otherworldly and dreamy. I would have named it "Pipe Dream" --- Vivek

Hey, Joe, I like the effect on this. Drastic colors like this really are in contrast to what most think of when they think industrial.
Hey Ashot: The principle edit was a second layer, blend mode = Darken, Opacity = 75 (roughly), with a Gaussian Blur @ 15 (roughly) applied. After flattening it, I did some local contrast boost (USM 20, radius 10), some saturation boost, and then final sharpening. Maybe a little heavy-handed on the PS work, but I felt it begged for a surrealistic touch. Glad you like it. --Joe
nice image; I like the gradients on the pipes.. was this achieved with a blurred layer on top at something like 30% opacity, or did you use another method?
