I went down to the local docks where a firework display was about to take place. This old silo was pretty much a silhouette, but with a bright full moon and some lighting from the other bank I thought I would give it a go. I liked the result so no firework pics for this challenge, as I was expecting, just this one! Hope you like it.

Slight levels, exposure compensation, perspective correction, crop and save for web.

Very surreal, looks like this could be right out of a sci-fi movie. Great color and great job!

Shame about the big "Tecton" sign that really grabs the eye, it keeps taking my eye off an otherwise great looking picture. 9

Beautiful job. The colors in this shot are great. You did a good job of capturing the abondoned look. 8

Cloning out "TECTON" would have made this jump a couple points, IMHO.
