Not sure how this one will do, tried to keep the HDR subtle, just wanted the decay in the hopper to show up with the nice sunset colors in the backdrop.

Wow, this is great. The colors and the mist in the background make this look so cold, which, paired with the sunset, create a nice metaphor of death. The detail is lovely, and the triangular composition works beautifully.
Love the colours in this image. It does have the abandoned feel.....Good composition using the rule of thirds to make the image work well........
Wondering wehat the diagonal line/marks running through the image though....doesn't make sense and does attract attention........apart from that the image is really good and one of my favourites in the challenge
Interesting subject well captured. I don't generally prefer straight-on shots but in this case the natural stair-step diagonal of the structure's top outline makes it work.
