Nicely composed, although your signs and horizon seem a bit tilted.

Nice composition, looks like it needed a slight rotation to the left to get the ocean line level.

I don't understand what the signs say, nor do I understand your title. But I like the photo. It's well done. Nicely cropped, good focus, nice composition. I just wish I could understand at least your title so I could do a really fair score as to meeting the challenge. But I'll give it a 5.

Very cool! Not many landscape photos in this challenge tell a story or make a point beyond aesthetic pleasantry. This one stands out, and is very nicely composed and well photographed also. 10 from me.

I love the tree. I don't like the inclusion of the industrial plant. Sure, they are in stark contrast, however I'd rather see something else in the background ... I find the tree is in the perfect placement. Jacko. 7 because I still think it's a nice composition.

What catches my eye about this photo is the foggy, polution like haze over the background, and the tree in the front is still hanging on, not in a haze. Kind of says that there might be hope yet that we wont totally be smothered in polution some day. Focus and clarity are great. I like where you have placed your 'horizon' line within the photo. Angle and framing/cropping are nice. The tree is perfect over to the right edge. Good luck in the challenge.

Yeah, I've got a lot of these on the horizon where I live. Great if we get an Industrial challenge though, huh?
