I happen to live less than an hour from one of the biggest astronomical radio observatories in the world, the VLA or Very Large Array. Once in a while I get the urge to drive out there to take some photos and this is one of them.

Nice shot. Great dynamic range. I like the little dish way far away in the background. This looks like the VLA, but I haven't been there in a long time.
The VLA is a miraculous place. I like the saturation work you did on the photo. Maybe if the dish was turned more it would be better. I like how you framed the second one in the background. The dish in the foreground, though, is a lttle too dark, and thust loses a little of its edge as the focus of the photo.
