One of my top pics for this challenge - oddly, all three were from favourite photographers (just shows that I'm right to have selected them). Pretty good scoring and placing, especially for a non-shiny-happy photo on dpc.
Great concept! I can relate to that well since I live in Los Angeles and we have terrible smog problems. The only issue I have with this entry is compression. It is most present on the second smaller burn-off stack. It seems a bit blurry and pixelated.
This is a beautifully disgusting picture! Looks like the chemical coast - Port of Houston area, which is close to where I am from. Definitely feelings of remorse, disgust, hate, disreguard, and disrespect are emenating from the excellent capture. Nice job!! Good luck!
I dont' think you're making enough of a link to industry here as all I see are towers and I'm not sure they by themselves are symbolic of industry. Would have preferred more of a wide angle shot to see that indeed the smoke does come from some kind of industrial processing. Also, the glare in the upper left is distracting. I certainly like your message, though.
