Layer of gradient map converting to grayscale. Adjustments for each of the red, green and blue channels in levels. Flatten. Adjust sharpness. Resize. Adjust sharpness. Further adjustments to the RGB channels for better contrast. Resize. Adjust sharpness.

Crop looks great. You've striked a nice balance with the shadows here. Not too dark or too bright. Darkening them a bit more would've probably made this almost unrecognizable from what this actually is without any title attached. No extra points from me if you where to do that.

Great image! Guess this is Heini's Silverscreens work. Would have cropped to square and added a distinct border, though

I like it, it seems like it could either be steps, or if I tilt my head to the left, a skyscraper.
