Metered on sky and then shot into sun for silouette effect of fence melded with the industrial shapes in the background. Everywhere I wanted to go was surrounded by fence, so I finally just figured I'd go with it and make the fence part of the photo. I liked the cold light which both obscured and echoed the harsh ugly character of an industrial area. I liked the way the pavement was shining in the sun and keeping the photo from being too dark. I thought this photo gave an appropriate mood to the theme industrial, rather than trying to take an industrial scene and make it something pretty.
People who are unable to see anything but what is "correct" are going to hate this. I'm unconcerned. Sometimes we learn more by breaking rules than following them.
