a very good photo of industrialisation at its worst! I think the B&W really suits this shot.

Love the amount of contrast in this shot. The juxtaposition of the clouds of smoke against the clouds in the sky is quite interesting as well. I also like the feeling this gives of industry at work producing. Well done.

Hell's bells that's a shot and a half! "Dramatic" doesn't even cover it - awesome capture. Your composition is impeccable here, and it's fabulous in B&W.

Great shot, ciraxis. I love the b/w in the clouds. What's really interesting is the natural clouds mixed with the steam/pollution coming out of the stacks. Makes for a very dramatic pic!!! Thanks for sharing!!
