Stunning, you nailed the composition, great colors, very nice sharp, crisp shot, great lighting, just an overall solid shot, really nice work, adding to faves.
Haha... Jonathan, thats funny. We practically entered the same photo. I guess we should have talked first, I could have entered my red on instead. Oh well, some guy said he scored mine higher, but yours scored better overall, so congrats on the 6+ :)
Looks like two people were out together taking pictures, I've seen this same scene earlier this evening. I'm afraid the other one came out a little better. The rocks in the foreground are a distraction from the steel mill.
Water level seems slightly out, enough that it distracts me. Like the long exposure timing. Maybe the colors 'upped' just a fraction, not sure. They just look a little 'dull' - but could be your intent.
