after reading ed's comments in this thread, i decided to go out and point my camera at something ;-)
i had wanted to enter the challenge, but haven't had much time. anyways, at 9:30pm, i decided to head out into the rain, drive downtown, look for something that had an 'industrial feel' to it, point my camera, and see what happened. this is what happened. now, i'll turn off my scores and wait a week to see what happens on the other side.
the title is a combination of aznym's poison sky and ed's cloud factory titles. the image is somewhat inspired by those two shots, as well.
couldn't do anything about the rain drops on the lens, we'll see if that matters.
also, the image is horribly soft on the focus. couldn't do much about that other than sharpen it up after adjusting levels and curves.

Image is too grainy and the border is too big. I got overwhelmed by those two things and didn't even see what the picture was of until I went back and looked a few more times.
Lighting and grainy feel adds a nice surrealistic feel to this. Wish it was presented in a larger format. Overall very well done. Good camera positionaing by the way.
