The security guard threatened to have me arrested for taking this photo, even though I was on public property when I took it.
Anyone else get chased away while working on this challenge?

Nicely processed. I like the subdued colors in this shot. The power lines on the top, horizontal, could have provided a good frame, but when I look at the image, the power pole and the lines divert my attention from the main subject. They do add to the 'industrial' feel of the overall photo, but distract as well as they are dominant compared to your subject. the pole on left also has the perspective distortion making it tilted while the chimneys in the background are straight.

Technically the photo is well exposed and has a good dof.

If you have any questions, please feel free to pm me

So many people had smokestacks in this Challenge.
Some did it so beautifully and deserved to win.
This would have been MUCH improved without the lines.

If this picure of the plant were taken in front of the power lines, it would have turned out so much nicer. If you could not manage to get infront of them, then a tighter zoom on the plant itself would give the same effect by eliminating the power lines from the pic.

Very nicely taken picture. It really looks "industrial" - even the wires add to it! Good job!

where was this shot taken. it looks very familiar. was there another angle without the power pole?

This has some beautiful light, mood and power. I just tried a crop that cut out the power pole and the tank. You should see it, stunning. .

Nice, looks tilted to the right a little. Could you have zoomed closer to get rid of the power lines? I realize this is an industrial challenge but the lines and that pole are distracting.

A great subject but it would be a better photo without the powerline or maybe cropped differently.

the utility pole and lines seam to take away from the background.

Your image is very busy and industrious, it has dirty 'oily' feel to it
I like how you attempted to frame you subject area with the utility poles. I thinkb a tighter crop, just to the left of the second pole would have been more efective. I also wonder what difference a step or two to the right might have made.

Great capture. Really nails the challenge details. I'm not sure about two things though, first it seems a bit blurry to me. Secondly, I'm not sure if it's the power lines / pole but it seems tilted to the left.

The more I look at this the more I think it's just an illusion with the pole thing...

Steam/Smoke is captured well.
