I quite like this shot, very stunning. The only detractor, for me at least, is the brightness of the sun, it almost hurts my eyes and competes for the focus of the photo.
I think I understand what this is trying to get at, but I wish the factory in the background (if that's what it is) were a bit sharper than it is. Not in focus, but just enough so that I know for sure what it is. I love the colors and the overall composition.
A stunning image but one I find depicts (for me) joy and beauty rather than desolation. I love it though! In this challenge, I'll give it an 8, in another it might have been higher.
