Hello :)

This is a nice pic. It's really smooth compared to a lot of the other shots in this challenge, and it's sharp as well. I think it would have done better if the actual sky was in fact darker. The colour of the sky at the moment is quite light, and similar to the building. I think a shorter shutter time would make it darker, and then the building would stand out more against it and have more impact. It would also stop the lights looking so blown out. Now, I wasn't there when you shot this so you might have tried that already and decided it wasn't as good, but I think having the sky darker to make the factory 'pop' more would look better.

The composition is pretty much centered. I don't know what was on either side of the building, but I would have liked to see the building more towards the right of the frame. I think this would look better because the smoke has more space to blow into, and it could possible enhance the sense of scale by having more space around it.

Overall a very nice pic, and it sounds like you went through a lot of pain to get it :P

...i'm really terrible at making evil faces, i look like i'm trying to seduce someone, or ready to laugh, it's actually kind of frustrating. Amazing, it's really creepy!:)

What a wonderful photo, the voters must be blind! Your composition with the biker and the curving street makes me feel like I'm riding along with him. This is definately a winner, congratulations on a wonderful capture.

Beautiful shot. I think it would have been better with much less of the bridge in the picture

Ok, a common PV in this challenge. Despite of it, a beutifull look. I think you would include the other brigde corner, to close the view.

Oh, this is so beautiful! Where is this taken at? It's much too pretty to be a troll's lair, I think. More like.. pathway to tranquility or something!
