 I expect this image to do poorly. I wanted to enter it mostly because I got up at 4:45AM to head downtown to watch it. This is the Intel building implosion in Austin, TX. It was quite the sight to watch it happen. Too bad the sky was so boring. Plus, the clutter around the building was wholely unattractive. Oh well, I had a good time while I was there.

Cool shot! For the record, I gave it a 7 - I thought it was quite interesting (I don't mind "busy") and a very good depiction of the acronym.

Good caption, given your unfortunate location (with all the buildings around it.) I was down there, too, shooting Intel as well. (I left my shot for the free study, that is doing worse than yours did here.)

You caught the moment but it is a shame another building was casting a shadow over the dust.

Great catch! I like the title too (doesn't tax my brain like some of the challenge titles are doing ;-)

Yep, I bet they used a lot of it too!

I know you have to make the decisions and stick with them but a longer shutter may have given some interesting results on this

Oh, this is AWESOME! I love photos like this -- up close and personal to construction, with the drama of smoke. Love it!

The title is ok but the image is basically a snapshot - no art here.
