The curves of the bridges make an attractive composition, and they contrast with the boxy shapes of the plant.This picture certainly conveys the feeling of the plant's smell. I'd like to see that factory a little clearer, and less dead black in the foreground.

Pretty good composition. Enough going on to tell a story without the need for detail and a clean unobstructed view. Just don't see this as fitting in with the topic as I am sure none of the smells from this facility are pleasant.

You get used to it after a while. Our family passed thru a paper mill town when we went to visit my grandparents. It was a marker, indicating it would only take 1/2 an hour to get there.

Originally posted by amsmyth: Greetings from the Critique Club: This certainly meets the challenge and the image is shot from an more interesting angle than not. The color of the Headstones is mellow and gentled by the light. The sky is kind of washy and it would have been good to use a filter to intensify the tones. The upper right section of the image begins to wash out a bit as well. It is a bit difficult to determine your intent with this image: was it for the serene and time-honored feel or did you mean it to have more intensity? The intensity is just not there for me and yet the marking of the unknown soldier tells me I should have more of a reaction. I do, however, get the sense of peace and tranquility that is marked out by the many tombstnes. Interesting image.

Thank you for your helpful critique! One of the next things I need to buy is filters. The sky was very overcast, so there wasn't much color there to work with. My intent with this image was to capture the peace of a military cemetary (this was just before Veteran's day), and I felt better about featuring an unkown soldier as opposed to showing a stone with a specific name. I felt a little uncomfortable photographing such a sacred place. Thanks again! Steve

Thanks, Tom! This is fun. I saw that you figured me out with about 2 minutes to go. Your "Hanging by a Thread" was a cool idea and a great photo! I can see I have a long way to go.....

Nice muted colours and off-centre composition.
