Here’s an unusual approach for me – while I do apply toning and effects to most of my photos, I don’t generally set out to quite so extreme with them. While this is still composed as it was shot, I have completely savaged the colours on it to destroy detail, and leave something stark and high contrast – aiming to give the suggestion, the feel, of chains rather than an accurate picture of the mooring chains as they are in life. I initially hated this shot, but having now mutilated it, I’m actually quite pleased with it.
