The combination of industry and nature just melds together so wonderfully in this composition. You make the smoke from the smoke stacks feel like magic...

yz from Budapest, Hungary
Very nicely composed, the inclusion of that tree adds a lot to it. Almost like a painting.

I do agree with Bluechameleon : a marriage very powerful that the blue tones you chose reinforce, this is great !

@k@: Thanks!...I added the tone to mellow the harshness of the B&W conversion a little.

I'm actually pro-nuclear power, but anytime I see cooling towers like that it makes me uncomfortable. I agree with what others have said...the long exposure really made for a nice effect on the photo, most notably on the steam. The toning also works very well. Congratulations on a terrific shot.

Very good composition, Ian! And I like the processing a lot here. Very subtle but very expressive.
