I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This is just great, the long exposure clouds - the output from the chimneys (they look they are blasting vapour out), the stark scenery, the grain/noise and the light all conspire to offer something that is more than the sum of its parts.

Critical stuff: Just the little round aberration towards the left hand side, about 3/4 of the way up - dust spot?

Overall: Very nice image, nicely shot - well thought through at the point of capture.

I like the grain. Thanks for not trying to "fix" it.

Interesting long exposure image. I like the effect; for an otherwise mundane subject (the building), the way you shot this makes it interesting and dramatic. Nice contrast and tones. The grain adds to the drama of the shot.

Like a force field pulling in the clouds and shooting them back out in jets straight up.
