This is a small light fixture, embedded in the concrete wall of a museum stairway. I strongly exaggerated the existing surface finish of the concrete,
and liked the resulting "subterranean" texture feel, as if the light fixture were set into a stone or earthen wall.

Very cool treatment Chris!!! This really is striking! #10511140Chris Budny January 14, 2013
Thanks; I really like how "grungy" it became (without adding a texture layer) just by tweaking in PS... it was a very smooth concrete wall! #10514909Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
