amazing scene - love the sky

Not sure about the pipe or title. Nice sunset, but a bit muted.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Incredible scene - beautifully processed. The color range is fantastic - as is the focus/DOF. You've managed to make the forefront very close and dramatic, as well as the farfront surreally smooth and colorful. Beautiful shot.

or maybe to another deminsion? you never know....

the colors in the sky look great, and the scope of the image is nice, but the image feels more sharpened than sharp.

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1115 images, I gave 94 of them an 8. Your image was one of those 94, placing you well within the top 10% for this challenge.

I relaly like the way that the subject of this photo, is actually a lead in line itself. The lighting is lovely, and the sky looks gorgeous. Yet, it all still looks like a desolate wasteland, beautifully captured.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

Very nice perspective on this one,

Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.

Cool shot. Nice processing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Lovely sunset and details with the rocks.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:09:03 PM
Instead of spoiling the shot, the pipe seems to help it. It's a nice leading line and it keeps my eye from wandering away from the photo, but I digress. Beautiful photo by the way.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 04:30:36 PM
Amazing shot; perhaps could have made more of the pipe lead-in by moving left a little.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:40:42 PM
Funny title, but the pipe does create a nice line.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 12:56:51 PM
Is this it? - really? I like the textures and sense of forboding.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:04:33 AM
Like the crisscrossing diagonals of the rocks and pipe. Good color and detail, too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the leading line of the pipe, the light is great and the textures in the sky are fab
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:23:09 AM
A technically excellent photo, but a pipe doesn't make for a very interesting subject, even dressed up with a nice HDR sunset.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:57:46 AM
Interesting tones and subject. Nice detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:57:21 AM
Great HDR. I love the light.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:02:22 PM
Seems like the pipe sort of ruins the shot... yet you've made it the subject. Interesting. I don't think I like it. But I do like the processing.

Nice shot. Great sky.

I get the distinct impression from this that you avoided overdoing the colors. They are exactly the right intensity.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:36:04 AM
