smelter by the columbia

This is a view of Teck-Cominco Trail (BC, Canada) operations, from the

other side of the Columbia river. Does it work?

Is that a trick question? imho this works very well. Black and white works well and the industrial building in the BG is very intriguing. I really like the shot overall. :)

Thank you, Shayne! No, it wasn't a trick question :)

I also think this works very well. The composition is correct and the harsh light adds atmosphere.

I would say that this is a very strong environmental image, so in that respect it more than works. Black and white helps portray that feeling very well as darkness and gloom should be felt, just look at the receeding landscape behind the smelter. BC and heavy industry should never be used in the same sentence.

As much as I wished to ignore your image, I could not. It frustrates and annoys, which is exactly what it should do. I too try so hard to focus on saving this planet, but often feel like the water running away in your shot.

Well composed. Good tonal range and lighting. I think this works well.

Beautiful , Very interesting scene

A really interesting photo: a classical b/w with strong main lines and very different textures. Thank you. G.

The critiques are much appreciated.

beatiful and strong shot

Nice! I think it works, and well!!

Outstanding work that gives feeling to a landscape, A thinking mans picture!7/7

I really dig this shot, But I would really like to see the rest of the building. I think that a square format would be very pleasing also.

 

Cheers
