Awesome! I'm always delighted to see how landscapes can fit into a challenge. (No, really, I'm the biggest sucker for landscapes and I'd probably enter them in every challenge if I could.) I'm surprised you didn't clone out the light post. That's my only nitpick, thought--this works very well photographically, and it fits the challenge well, too.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This is just great, the long exposure clouds - the output from the chimneys (they look they are blasting vapour out), the stark scenery, the grain/noise and the light all conspire to offer something that is more than the sum of its parts.

Critical stuff: Just the little round aberration towards the left hand side, about 3/4 of the way up - dust spot?

Overall: Very nice image, nicely shot - well thought through at the point of capture.

I like the grain. Thanks for not trying to "fix" it.

Interesting long exposure image. I like the effect; for an otherwise mundane subject (the building), the way you shot this makes it interesting and dramatic. Nice contrast and tones. The grain adds to the drama of the shot.
