Looks confusing, busy, a lot to look at, all at once.

Very good, clear shot. Nice color. Interest level seems a little low, please draw me, the viewer, into your shot (but no suggestions, sorry!) 7 Swash

there is too much darkness in the foreground. maybe a tighter crop that didn't include the street would look better.

Composition - The general composition of this pic is outstanding. I love the contrast between the clear tree and the hazy smoggy factory. That makes a statement in itself even if this picture were blurry. The shape of the tree leaves a little to be desired, but they aren't all perfect. The only part of the composition I don't like is the road in front of the tree. But there's not a lot to do about that. Well conceived photograph.

Photography - Great DOF for this shot. The exposure is good. Usually I say something about the whiteness of the sky, but it is intended in this picture. So I'm not going to say anything but, Nice Job!

Processing - Looks like little if any. The crop is good. If there was room on the left side, I might've left a little more of it to keep the big stack more toward the middle.

Overall - I don't recall seeing this photo voting, but I didn't get to all of them. I would've given this photo a 7 or 8 though. I really think this is something I might see in a news magazine or something on the environment. The industrial/nature contrast is great. The message I get from this photograph is as good as the photograph. Great job - Inspzil
