Default Quincy Mine Boiler House

Hi all,

I have recently started to feel like I need some constructive criticism on my photography, so here I am!

This photo was taken yesterday during one of our rare sunny winter days, while snowshoeing around some nearby copper mine ruins.

I am particularly interested in comments on the composition and color. My intention was to use the wide(ish) angle to create a sense of depth, with the boiler stack rising above everything else. How do you feel about the cropping of the other buildings? The horizontal orientation? Any other comments about composition and colors are especially welcome.



Technical details:
Aperture: f/7.1
Shutter: 1/200
ISO: 100
Mode: Program (shifted for greater depth of field)
Exposure comp: -1/3 stop
Color balance: sunlight setting, no other color adjustments
Camera: Nikon D40x
Lens: Nikon 18-55 II (kit lens) at 18 mm -- wish I had something wider
Filter: Polarizer
