steve, it's not an insane asylum, it was a hospital for lung deseases (tuberculosis) and included two sanatoriums. you can read about it's history here on wiki.

at first i basically use the black&white adjustment in phsCS3. i'm trying all the color filters and go with the one i think gives the best gradient, contrast and tones. then i use a gradient map on soft light mode to get the nice warm tint and a nice contrast with dark blacks. after that i did curves adjustment to finally get the perfect contrast. on this one i also did a second curves adjustment with a mask to brighten the dark corridor on the left.
but having all that said, the key to the tones of this shot is the lighting, as the sun was setting, providing that beautiful warm and deep light.

hope that helps :)

how the hell did'nt this one score much better??? i think it's a great shot, the contrast between the "silence" of the moody light and the "scream" that bans the man into the corner of the room is really great and turns the still shot into a story of emotions! well done
