I have no idea how this one will score. I don't think it will do very well but I like it.

Neat picture. Pretty spooky. It would have been nice to light the foreground stacks a little but I understand you may not have been given that option. Well done.

I love the look of the smoke/steam, great job.

Cool looking.

Wow. This makes pollution look good.

I like the shapes created by the smoke during your long exposure.

Very imopressive shot.

The stacks emitting the central plumes that draw the eye seem a bit fuzzy, perhaps a bit soft all around, though striking.

Amazing night photo, with great form/shape the steam/smoke takes on and nice capture of the lighting refracting and reflection on the smoke/steam and pipes.

The smog makes a nice effect. And the lighting is very impressive.

Good take on the challenge but for really good long exposures you need to have the buildings sharp as possible, these are a little soft.

They look like jet engines shooting pollution into the sky.
Great shot.

This would be my pick for the blue ribbon! Good luck!

nice long exposure. that purple hue adds some sort of character and mood to this simple image. just a little too much negative space at the top but no biggie.

Cool smoke/steam blur. I like the effect of the multiple stacks.

This pic displays the intensity of the damage well.
