I love these night time refinery/factory images. Works very well in B&W. I like the balance and clarity of this image... border might hurt you with the letterbox haters, which I'm not one of... just saying. Anyway, I like your work.

Wow! Wonderful geometry. Fantastic processing... your vision in capturing and processing this is spectacular. This HAS TO do well in this challenge. A 9 from me (for now... i.e I wouldn't be surprised if I'm back to look at it some more and bump it up a notch).

Oh! This is the image I was going to take for this challenge. Though, I reckon you've done better than I would have... making me happy that time and events conspired against me this week to ensure I didn't submit anything.

Well done. Great composition and processing. One criticism, if I was to nitpick... might have paid to lose the lines in the lower left... but otherwise perfect in my book... giving it a 9.

Another image in this challenge that is deserving a bump in score during my commenting phase. Originally gave this an 8 but that was a tad harsh... great used of flare and blur. Well done!

This is a spectacular capture, and I have to say, I think the processing does nicely to bring balance the image. Originally gave it an 8 but am going to bump it up a notch.

This is easily my favourite image in this challenge. Perfect for the theme, exceptionally well composed and processed. Originally gave it a 9 during my voting phase but have come back to comment, and upon further reflection, feel it deserves more... so a 10 from me!
