Your picture does have the end-of-the-world look and I got the message immediately without knowing the horible story. Yes, the beauty and the beast indeed. The visual beauty of the appocalipse. Very well done. And I must say, the title was not bad at all since it hinted to the real story indeed.

I really hate it that you gave this beautiful image this ... horrible title. LOL!

But, this is a photography challenge... not a literary challenge... so... I'm ignoring the title. Giving this a... 7 solely on the photography.


(would have given it a 5 if I considered the title) *grin*

I apologise, I am new to this and you are "stuck" with my comments. Pls. realise that this is *my* learning curve more than yours!
I love this picture, its bautiful. However, I don't think it really does your title justice (or should that be your title doesn't do the picture justice?). Yes, I can see the, I assume, petrochemical plant if I look carefully, but for this assignment I would have brought this much more into the viewer's eye (i.e either different lense and/or different crop). I am not sure how this picture depicts "leucemia" in any stretch of the imagination, nor employment. I understand that you are trying to make a socio-ecological statement, I just don't think this image is able to pull all these things together. Again, as a "photograph" I love it -as it is, especially the monochromatic, but I don't think you really worked the challenge with this image.

The contrast is a little heavy for me on the sea but that sky is beautiful, I like the faint visible coastline of the hills and smoke towers. The image is thoughtfully sombre.
