Hello :)
This is a nice pic. It's really smooth compared to a lot of the other shots in this challenge, and it's sharp as well. I think it would have done better if the actual sky was in fact darker. The colour of the sky at the moment is quite light, and similar to the building. I think a shorter shutter time would make it darker, and then the building would stand out more against it and have more impact. It would also stop the lights looking so blown out. Now, I wasn't there when you shot this so you might have tried that already and decided it wasn't as good, but I think having the sky darker to make the factory 'pop' more would look better.
The composition is pretty much centered. I don't know what was on either side of the building, but I would have liked to see the building more towards the right of the frame. I think this would look better because the smoke has more space to blow into, and it could possible enhance the sense of scale by having more space around it.
Overall a very nice pic, and it sounds like you went through a lot of pain to get it :P |

| Great photo. Wonderful lights, and the smoke (or steam) out of the stacks is awesome. Great job. |

| You hit the right compromise between enough exposure to bring out the lights while keeping it low enough to preserve the dark background. Very nice. |

| Very interesting and effective shot. The smoke stacks are very nice. It gets a little busy below; have you experimented with cropping the bottom part out? Nice lighting and interesting colors. |

| Nice effort, but the shot might have been better with more stack, less factory. |

one night sailed off in a wooden shoe..... That brings back memories!
Good night shot, a little overexposed at the main light in the middle, draws my eyes to it. 8 |
