The reason the pipes were left in, is had they been cropped there the composition of the photo changed to much when cut out, specially the rule of thirds at the end of the pier narrowing the aspect of the image, if I moved forward with the crop the 2 people became the problem, sad It cost so many points after starting in the 6's.

Moody! Although overprocessed, it does set the mood perfectly. I wish the orange tones on the banks were a little more subtle so as not to draw so much attention. Also, the two pipes sticking out at bottom-right are highly distractin.
It is a beautiful scene, great leading lines and some awesome clouds. Good job retrieving the details in the clouds. Although in doing that the foreground seems over saturated. I would have masked the foreground a little to soften it up and also cropped out the two pipe thingy on the bottom right.
