Wow! You weren't just talkin' trash in the Adulthood scores thread. You really WERE up there. I'm always amazed at people like you and JJ who can make something beautiful out of a scene that I'd probably drive right past. Congrats on the red- this should have scored higher (.01 higher). ;-P

Congrats again Ursula. Another well done entry.

Man I had a great feeling on this one. Congrats on your ribbon.

Wow. That would be what life is like if you submit to society's anti-life society. School and tactless work entailed.

Post actions
actually, this looks a lot like my daughters high school! Great image!
Post actions
goodness, looks like I'm going to have to eat my words from my previous comment. I thought this could be yours; the subject and the processing are very much consistent with your style. Congratulations on your excellent finish!

stella shot, good for red you deserve it with this

Good story line, very dramatic. Congratulations! Good to see three of my favorite photographers on top with ribbons. Of course, individually for you three, that's not unusual!

I knew my bump here would have buried my image, but hey, when you are good you are good and this is an outstanding image whose title touches a nostalgic stream in all adults. Congratulations on your RED. Certainly beats mine.Message edited by author 2005-12-05 00:17:21.

A stunning image with glorious tones. Bumping up.
Post actions
Very effective use of B/W.
Post actions
well done, very descriptively depicted. 10
Post actions
really good but there are some funny little lines on the top of the factory.
Post actions
Good premise and well shot...maybe a bit too much NI? But not sure of course. Doesn't really bother me all that much...gives a bit of nightmarish quality that you may have been going for....reality does bite but there always something, hopefully beautiful off in the distance that you work towards and maybe leave the reality behind....the bit of mountain and great cloudscape say that to me. Well done.Message edited by author 2005-12-05 00:30:34.

missed the industrial deadline eh :P
Post actions
wow, this would have been an easy top 10 in the Industrial challenge! This is an amazing photo - but I don't see a strong link with the challenge theme here.
Post actions
This is a nice picture. It would have done very well in industrial, too.
Post actions
A little too much dodge/burn (or whatever you used to darken the sky) for my taste. Also not really fond of the clipping of the smoke and lower part of the factory but you seem to know what you are doing so I just assume there is nothing to the right or bottom that is worth seeing. 7 from me.
Post actions
Very nice picture. Love the clouds and the smoke stack. Great effects. The "abandoned" feeling is perfect.
Post actions
This is really awesome...it looks "live" on my screen!
Post actions
this should have gone into the industrial challenge its a beautiful shot, but for the wrong challenge
Post actions
This was my only 10. It looks so sleak and dark and perhaps fits the title all too well. Great capture. :)
Post actions
WOW! Stunning is all I can say about this study in b/w. 10 from me. I'm guessing this would have killed in the Industrial challenge.
Post actions
10...10...10--need I explain? I'm speechless--fantastic sky and composition and tonal qualities--very much adult--awesome
Post actions
Great shot! My personal favourite. Clean, sharp and good contrast. Definitely should be in the top three.
Post actions
Post actions
Wow- I love this photo. The gray scale is wonderful. I love the monocromatic scale from black to white. Reminds me of ansle adams.
Post actions
absolutely gorgeous. how did you achieve this feel to your b&w treatment?
Post actions
The stark reality of aduthood. Get a good education or work in the factories (although that option is mostly in the past). Good luck on this industrial image. -10-
Post actions
This is an awesome photograph. Top notch contrast and composition!
Post actions
do you have the correct commpetition ? nice photo though 5

I love the tones in this image. I'm not crazy about the crop though - too tight on the bottom. I had a similar idea that I didn't pull off. 6
Post actions
I'm surprised you didn't go with this one for the industrial challenge. Good shot--I like it!
Post actions
Love this sky in this one. I'm not sure what that is in the lower left. Aside from the title, how does this imply adulthood?
Post actions
Why not in the industry challenge? Nice picture.
Post actions
noo! that's too dreary!! great light! it's got a fairy tale effect. works well.
Post actions
This really does signify the daily grind we go through 8
Post actions
Like the depiction,the image is well suited to B&W...
Post actions
WOW - I love the dreamy velvet post editing. This would've worked for industrial too.
Post actions
Cool atmosphere. Well done.
