Guys,
Thanks for your inputs - really appreciated, especially as they seem positive :-)

I like amk's interpretation which shows how a photograph can be read so many ways by others - in fact, it was taken on a *very* cold & frosty morning, but also very bright. The guys seemed to be distressed about something. The location was just outside Market Bosworth, UK.

The conversion was done in Adobe Lightroom, firstly I cropped to remove some unwanted sights on the left hand side, then adjusted the exposure slightly to darken it overall. I added recovery to bring back the highlights and converted to B&W. Finally I used the adjustment brush (exposure) to darken the upper right corner to hide the opposite platform and balance the image. Oh - I darkened the men as well to silhouette them (which was hard as they are wearing high visibility vests!)

Phil
