Great shot, nice sky and somehow that little bird gives it a something extra .:9:.

Comment by ericsuth:
The sky/ground exposure is right on and the proportion of the pipe is great...even the shadow works well here...sort of makes you wonder where the pipe is headed and what's it pouring out

Excellent composition and clarity in this image. Everything works without extraneous detail. (Yes, I like the bird too) Beautiful photography. Good luck.

or may be people accidentally think that when they click "2" that means the picture will end up being at 2nd place.. but that is insulting the common humanish's intellect :P but than again the common humanish can be pretty dumb!

it is a magnificnat picture in my book and my book is a rather thin one..

The sky is dramatic, the composition is good, but the pipe is just too dark to see; although the base is obviously rusty as well.

This image violates many of the traditional "standards" of artwork. It's lighter at the bottom than the top. It reads best from top-left-center toward bottom-right-center. There's no texture in the shadows. But.. having said all that (take a breath) THIS IS THE IMAGE THAT PROVES THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE! Going against all common rules of composition and all that academic stuff - this is one of the very best images in this challenge for me.
