| I used to live and work not far from this plant. You have done a great job making this look pretty ominous. Personally, I like the darkness, to convey the threatening and poluted nature of the sky. |

Thanks for all the nice comments, everyone. I am really happy to be in the top 10! Unfortunately for those of you who thought it was a conversion...sorry...it's the real deal: black and white with a polarizing filter. I just nudged the contrast up a couple notches afterwards.
I also thought it was pretty interesting/ironic/sad to see an oil refinery sitting right on a California beach with all the wildlife around... |

| This shot has good potential, given the nice composition and the birds juxtaposed with the industrial equipment, but the B/W conversion is too dark. |

Lovely b/w image, the B/W conversion on this is really good and the composition works really well.
I love the contrast between the environment and the man-made pollution making structure. |

| I see potential for pollution, but perhaps it is cleanly run and managed? Can't tell from the photo. |

| Great idea putting the pic in black and white-has great value and constates with good lines from the tire tracks which help to create movement. |

| Shoot for the highlights and let the shadows fall where they may. That was our motto back in the day. But then we also did a fair amount of dodging and burning in the old darkroom. I see the title but I don't see the pollution. |

| This is GOOD! Poignant with all the little birds hanging unsuspecting around the toxic plant. I love the composition, and the black and white contrasts are really nice. |
