Reletively new to B&W and I am interested in comments about this

photograph. I would like to get comments on the overall asthetics

and composition. This is the first roll of Ilford XP2 I have tried

and I am quite pleased with the grain/detail, have others had good

luck with it? What changes could I have made to improve this shot?

Interesting night photo, I like the exposure and film, some might consider the wires in the foreground to be distracting however, I feel it adds to the powerful image. I am used to the common yellow and blue versions of color pix of power plants at night, the B&W is a plesent change, lets see more.

Nice shot Dave. This scene might be a little contrasty for B&W. Maybe faster film? Humm, this scene looks familar though........

nice, how about you try it again, this time around twilight, when there is still some glow in the sky, just after or around sunset. that you'll get foreground details, and some more detail in the complex, without the lights washing it all out; like the plume above the smokestack.
