Challenge: Pollution (Basic Editing)
Collection: Challenges - 2008
Camera: Canon EOS-40D
Lens: Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Date: Mar 10, 2008
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/60
Galleries: Cityscape, Panoramic
Date Uploaded: Mar 11, 2008

This photo was taken on the way home from a day at the beach. As we were passing through the city, the light was just right to take some pollution related photos. This one was taken on the west bank of the Yarra at the Punt where people regularly fish despite warning about high heavy metal level in the waters, and consequently its fish, at the Yarra mouth.

Processing: Fill light, bump up the exposure, clarity and vibrance a tad and crank up the luminance smoothing and color noise reduction. Crop a bit from the top and bottom and add a border.

I really like the colors in this one. Fewer items in the background would have helped keep attention on the fisherman.

Without the title I would struggle to see pollution but a nice shot of a bridge anyway.

Other than the title, I don't see how it has to do with the challenge. It's a nice shot with a great looking sky though.

A nice image of the bridge, however, I'm struggling to see the pollution.

Nice soft colours and lighting but I think the framing should have been with the fisher man more to the right [and more light. He's just not very obvious in that darkened corner] and I find the connection between pollution and just the one man slightly vague.. maybe it's rigs [behind the man] that you're alluding to. I'm not sure..
