The power plant has a strange halo around it - artifact of HDR? Otherwise, it is a pretty nice composition to highlight the steam coming off the cooling tower and out of the smokestack.

I would have liked to see the structures take up much more of the image. They provide a great deal more interest than the sky, which makes up most of this image.

the sky isn't interesting enough to be the majority of the photo.

Hm. This shot looks kind of drab... and I think that's the point, but it just doesn't appeal to me as much. I don't know how else you would have done it, though, so I think you probably did well. I do like the detail in the clouds and smoke.

Yikes. Great shot of something horrible (pollution). Nice job.

This picture would really pop with a levels or contrast adjustment, it seems a bit flat.

I love the colors, but I think you should tone down the reds, they seem over-saturated
