Very nice progression depicted. Only quibble is the bluish reflection on the jar and only because the color seems kinda odd.

A beautiful Allergy (A blessing to look at but a curse to inhale)

Not quite "progress" to me, though you did get the blessing/curse part. Nice shot of the blooms and I like the brick in the background.

Wind Power

Meets the challenge. The windmill is such that it's hard to see the blades, which I think are pretty impressive. I do like the sun flare, but overall the picture is a little flat contrast-wise, in my opinion.

Transportation Symphony in D minor

Liked this one when I went through the thumbnails - like it even better full size. Very nice capture showing various aspects of "progress" - trains, cars, towns - and even the trees that either remain or have been planted. Excellent capture - nice statement that progress isn't all bad and can in fact be quite lovely (or at least that's how I see it.)

Hmmm.. I like the desat to highlight the subject. Just not entirely sure I buy into the "Progress" part.

Probably not a photo the authors would use to advertise their book, but it does get the point of your title across. The overprocessing on the chair is kinda cool.

Nice cityscape. Not sure where you're going with the title but I do like the shot.

Great shot for Perspective - shows just how huge this structure is! Also appears that they've made progress in fixing the place.

Electricity ruins the night view in the country

Ah, but without the electricity, there would be no computers and no photography! I actually like the light by the house - it's a nice echo to the moon in this shot.
