I like this allot - it's a good shot you'd find on the front of any paper. The six point filter has a nice touch. However, newspaper photographers have ethics and are FORBIDDEN to change the picture - that 6pt would have gotten you fired :( The picture looks about 2.5 degrees off to the left - and it works great so long as everyone notices the shot is from a boat - you should have mentioned this this in your title to prevent misunderstandings. If you get tired of that 6pt you may want to change to a Tiffen HyperStar or VectorStar - would have given you a more dramatic effect with a new look - they are not inexpensive filters but can be found quite reasonable on ebay. Rated 10

Superb reflection & exposure. There's very little visible noise, and I can totally see this under a headline in a paper. The color is spectacular as well, good job

One of the best photos, but maybe it's too beautiful for conveying a disaster, but on the other hand it conveys the title well and I'll give it a 8, definately a ribbon photo IMO!

Impresive shot, might benefit from a tighter crop, and some work on the headline. Maybe "Dozens injured in refinery blast". I'm guessing that this is a very long exposure of a normal occurrence at this plant. Nice work.
