The smoke is just fabulous, and I really like the reflection of the chalk sticks. I wish there were less of a bluish/green cast to the chalk itself though.

I really like all of the colors in this shot, and the setup is nice. The only big criticism I have is with the piece on the far right having such a large blown highlight.

Such a wide perspective, found your Siggy, Sarampo!
Very dramatic view and the weather was playing.

Great shot João! ... and another megascore!

If you don't mind I have a few critics.
I would have decentered the subject (to the right) adding more dynamics to the photo. The subject with it's strong lines and perspective is drawing attention to the bridge but unfortunately that attention is thrown out of the frame.
Focus also seems a bit off (on the bridge and on the farther tip of the crane) but you have an excuse with such low light.

Keep it up, it's always great to see what you can come up with, week after week!
I hope to rejoin you guys later in the year but I had a reasonable deal for my camera so I had to sell it.
Perhaps I'll put in a few with the Fuji compact... :)
