Okay, how the heck did you get the smoke on the left to bellow inward, the smoke on the right to also bellow inward. And the center stack to bellow it's smoke straight up!!!!

That's like near impossible without a cyclone....*lol*

Great stuff. The dynamism with wind direction really makes this.

for the challenge, I think you made the right choice. obviously you couldn't have done much better than you did! I like a couple of the other pix quite a bit but their emphasis on 'industrial' is not as strong - here the focus and message are razor sharp and obvious. congratulations on your ribbon for this fine image. the wind-blown smoke/steam is fascinating.

Instant favorite! Didn't get a chance to vote, but this coulda been my first 10. At least a very rare 9!

Although I personally liked the uncropped version a bit better, it is still an astounding photograph! Congrats on the ribbon!

How you managed to get a goose to look simultaneously miffed and expectant is beyond me but you have my congratulations. Good capture. :)
