| I remember seeing this ribboning in the Industrial Challenge but never got around to commenting on it. I really love those deep rich orange and chocolate browns in this photo. It is those hues that really make the image visually appealing - eye candy if you will. Very well done image to make the stereotypical dirty & cold steel of the industrial age look so beautiful. |

Even industry has a beauty to it--especially when you get that camera working Ursula. What a great title!
Congratulations on the ribbon!

I think this should of have gotten first place. I liked this one
the most out of all the shots. (Not that first place isn't any good it's a great photograph) I just thought this one had more flare it it.
Nice Shot. |

Since the crop you chose focuses so much on the sky, I probably would have picked a title like, "The Cloud Factory," but "Chocolate" obviously worked, and what could be more appealing than chocolate? I probably would have used a subtle inline on that dark border, too. I gotta find SOMETHING to criticize, right?

YOU are on a roll!. CONGRATULATIONS!
I like this colored version more. The biggest asset of this picture is the composition. Very graphic. You have a good technique in composing your shots.

Guess what? This photo was made 1 minute and 16 seconds after the other one above, and about a block down the road (I was in my Subaru for both, too lazy to get out).

| Good effective image. Clouds and smoke works very well here. At first I thought the horizon wasn't horizontal, but wrong after viewing the accurate vertical chimney. Very good image |

| 7 - Good effect and lighting. Criticism; apologies if I am wrong, but this seems like it needs rotation/straightening. Toning is good, but it just seems 'tilted'. 2nd look - looks like it might have a pier/jetty/causeway(?) going out into water, but it is barely discernable, still, looks slightly 'tilted'. |

| Great positioning to achieve a wonderful backlit silhouette. I like the way it makes such a strong diagonal across the frame. Personally, I'd crop the building out completely so we had a really surprising presentation of a vast cloud billowing from a tiny chimney. |
