 The Pet Crematorium in Cambridge. Not really enough smoke to get the traditional smoke effect so took an alternative contre-jour option, shooting against the sun with it behind a stack. Perhaps a little dark for most tastes, however I'm actually quite pleased with the effect, nicely dark and dramatic and the wide angle distortion adds to the feel I think.

Anyway, no doubt it'll bomb to a miserable 4 and I shall go back to my corner :)

Edit: Actually did ok! thanks for the comments, votes and favs - much appreciated

Nice angle; I like how it influenced the tone of the photo.

The silhouette gives it a very ominous feel. Nicely done ;)

The two smoke stack on the sides balance out the picture very well.

Dark and foreboding. Has a cool eerie feel to it.
