I'm sorry this didn't rate higher as it's my very favourite of all the entries. I guess everyone didn't feel as strongly as I did about it. I really think it's so evocative.
Sky tones, the steam (?), the disorganisation of the wind turbines - it's like a landscape out of Terminator, only they never had this sophisticated an imagination. All that stops you getting a ten from me (a rare thing indeed) is the feeling that it's all a little too distant - I'd have tried less sky, perhaps losing the turbines to the left, and cropping closer to the 'islands', just to see how that felt (of course you may have, and may have rejected it). Still the most desolate shot this week :-)
I like it. At first I was wishing for more contrast but then it wouldn't look like a dust storm. The ground colors are very unique. I will be interested to find out where this was shot. Nice job.
This is a very strong photo.
You've got the whales in the front -I guess- and the wind-energy-mills in the background. That is a nice presentation of environmentally friendly making of energy. The background preserves the foregroud in a way. The toning is a bit papyrus colored, a cold blue setting might do better.
Edit:
LOL Industrial water dump outlets, not whales........
WOW!
What an incredible image - ghostly, otherworldly, ethereal, moody, lonely...
I would like a straighter horizon but everything else is just right!
10!
