Harsh?????

This is a bit busy. I'm not sure that all the elements are needed but I can't tell because I'm not sure what you are trying to say. I guess I just don't get how this is supposed to meet the challenge theme.

I've looked at this several times and still can not figure out exactly what it is...

Industrial archaeology

Your colors are a little too vivid. I'm assuming that this is from your use of HDR. This is really apparent in the sky. You also have a bit of noise in the sky which doesn't help out any. But the biggest thing I see in this shot is that it's just not too interesting. Nothing here to hold my attention for more than a second.

Doesn't look like such a harsh environment... Kinda busy and I'm not sure where the subject is. Where am I supposed to look...

in search of BLACK GOLD

The sky looks very oversaturated. I'm also not sure what is supposed to be the subject of the shot unless it's that small vertical thing absolutely dead center in the shot. Nothing really interesting to keep the viewers attention...

Cold Berry

A close up of a strawberry doesn't really fit the description of an environment now does it? Oh and the right side of your frame is thicker than the left side of your frame. I really don't like that...

Air Travel

Comment:
Was this shot at an airshow? It doesn't do anything for me. It almosts looks like you randomly took a shot pointed in the sky. There is no cool clouds or detail in the planes to give this any oomph. It's also very grainy which makes me wonder if it's a very tight crop of an even bigger open boring sky...

I have never truly appreciated the abstract form of photography even as I understand it's appeal...

There is stuff in your background that you can almost but not quite see and that is to me very distracting. There also is no true black which looks kind of wierd for this type of shot.

Into Pieces
by phatphoto

Comment:
There is not enough interest in just the pieces of whatever it is by themselves. They don't hold my eye or allow it to land anywhere. Your focus is VERY narrow which doesn't help out any.
