Thanks again. Looks like a DQ made me do the cut. (though i was 0.007 points away from the ribbon anyway)

I'm glad to see this shot ribbon. It must be one of the most beautiful pictures of trash I've ever seen :)

reminds me of a movie poster that had a face coming out of the smoke... I would have croped just above the bright spot in the bottom to make it more misterious

Thanks for all good critics, glad you enjoyed it.
Lots of people think that I have used selective saturation or adjusted channels, but this is how it looks in reality, although auto contrast showed the true colors as the shot was taken a very clody day and the original histogram showed only app. 2-3 stops.

This is my first entry in DP-challenge so a 4th place is really nice (a ribbon would of course been a better start, =) I would just have neededa 0.007 more...

Tried a lot off differnet crops, but without the water reflection it just lost a lot.

Thanks everyone.
