What? The tall mast with the shorter ones aroun it? I'm sorry, I think you tried to stretch the idea of the challenge a bit too far.

Comment by metoecus:
I like the verticality of this shot; shooting from a lower angle might improve the composition. The placement of the "patriarch" in the frame seems a little odd; I'd have rather seen it dead center or closer to one of the edges.

One thing that would have pushed this from a good photo to a ribbon contender is if you had made a triptych out of it. For example, imagine that you're tethered to the smokestack and you're walking around it taking pictures from the 1 o'clock position, then the 2 o'clock position, etc. Pick your favorite three of these photographs and create a tryptich from the results. Doing this wouldn't make your submission meet the challenge any better, but I imagine that it'd still have enough of a kick to boost it's score significantly.

Funny idea (reminds me of one I did with some trees) and great lighting.

WOW, what a difference! This is much better, not only with the focus, but the colors and crop as well. Keep up the good work! Regards from your "classmate" in DPC Basics mentor group :-)

very beautiful rich colors. next time try different angles and try and avoid the centred approach... you have so much potential in this shot.
