Taken at an abandonned gold mine site close to my town. This is ugly (pollution) and beautifull at the same time. Good news, our Goverment will be cleaning all those sites in the next few years.

Focus and depth of field are very good. I really like the colors and saturation in the background. The foreground dirt looks a bit bright and washed out. The tree color looks a little off and pale. Were these colors accurate? An effect of the mining? I'm wondering if a polarizing filter would have helped here. As this is an advanced edting challenge. Perhaps a bit of burning in the post processing might have been in order.
I do like the abstract feel to this piece, and definetly think the symbolism is clearly communicated to the viewer.
