Alicia, I really like this photo! I've always been drawn to cool, industrial looking scenes! I think that looks like a great place with an awesome vantage point!

Could be an interesting image as I like the vista/overlook, but it lacks contrast and sharpness, imo. Forground adds nothing to the picture, is ugly, especially the shrub, and takes away about 1/4 of the image real estate. Could you have moved forward to eliminate it? Deeper DOF would probably help sharpness. What aperture/f-stop did you use? Finally, it appears to need a color balance adjustment to reduce cyan. I hope you found my comments helpful and not hostile.

I like the composition with the bush in the foreground, dam in the center and towers off in the distance. The subject seems very busy though. I'm guessing this was shot mid day from the bluish light I think softer light would make this score better.

seems a little washed out...and a tighter shot of a more specific area of the damn, might have been more interesting.

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.

Good shot that includes a lot, but maybe you've exposed for the red rock and not for the concrete. It seems to be a bit blown out. Takes in a lot though. 6

Really pisses me off that they never turn on the dam air conditioning when I'm there and they're officially not allowed to tell all the dam jokes.
