I just couldn't find a spot where I could get a really clean shot of the entire refinery... "Burning Up Gas", so, rather than renting a helicopter, I took this shot at their main gate in Torrance.
Yes, they are the leading polluters in CA and today I heard that gas prices will most likely hit $ 4.00 per gal. very soon... ironic, or what?

There isn't really anything that your eye is drawn to, it just kind of floats around. Cropping in closer on the machines might have been more interesting.
I really like this image. Instead of putting something pretty, like most people do you have the whole thing ugly. This shows how bad off our world really is.
This is a very busy photo and there is no clear subject. The garbage truck catches the eye but because the left side is cut off it makes me think it is not the subject. The orange barrier behind it is the next thing that catches my eye. I don't get to the smoke until like the 4th or 5th item that I look at. Because it has the lightpole going right through it it makes me think that is not the subject either.
Nice capture.. though you were obviously limited in capturing the picture[private property and stuff] you've got a complete view of the area to the voter.. though it is rather busy and there isn't anything to act as a focal point..
