 It was nasty day - cold and windy and I've lost any hope to take any good shots. Sunset was producing long and ugly shadows.But this huge Powerplant abadoned in early 60s or 70s looks just great. All editing I've done is levels and curves. The lens I've used was Canon EF 18-55mm II lens.

Nice picture, a bit dark though. I would shift it over a bit to get, less of the white building, and all of the other crane instead.

Interesting sky, but the expsoure seems a little too dark on the building.

This could be improved (in my cpinion) by rotating the whole image clockwise a couple of degrees. Beautiful orange and blue colors in the sky. Wonder how it would be with the contrast upped a bit.

I like the composition and sky, but unfortunately the building is under-exposed. Perhaps if a better time during day when the sun highlights the facility, there would be more impact. Good potential.

Fascinating architecture, perhaps the facade is too dark.

Really like this shot, especially the sky background on the left. The smoke stacks look "neon".

Needs more light on the front. If this is a sunset shot, would be better as a sunrise, for instance.

Too dark for my taste

I love this shot, where is it? U.K? Why do I think of Pink Floyd when I'm looking at this?

Okay, about your shot: Seems a bit dark on my end on the left hand side. I'm sure that's due to your primary light source coming from the right. This building has so much character show it off more! I think in this case you might want to bump up the brightness a tad to help this shot out. Also feels a bit heavy on the left. I use the Measure Tool in PhotoShop to correct tilted horizons like you have here. Finally, I think if you played with Hue/Saturation a bit I think it would bring out the blue and yellows in your sky and red tones in the power plant. I think this would make this shot just EXPODE off the viewers monitor.

I hope this helps and good luck with this challenge!
