Great detail and use of blue. Excellent DOF! 7

Interesting and unusual rendition all in blue but I guess that is tied in with the water theme.

This hydro-electric plant definitely shows power. However it looks like the white balance is off giving a blue tint to the entire shot. I think auto-levels would whiten up the walls some.

Lots of detail and incredibly sharp - nice overall colour tone. Good composition but a bit disappointed you cut off the top left of the image. I gave this a 7 on my initial pass. still a 7.

The lines in this are really cool, the blues are so interesting.

I like the way you've composed this so the building recedes into the distance

The post processing and the color treatment works well with this image.

Good cold feel to it. Icy

Interesting use of blue cast. Interesting building. Looks like the power structures overhang the front of the building.

Nice pic. Almost looks like a comic book place.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 06:36:16 AM
Nice colors and great detail.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 04:10:45 AM
I like the blueish tone here. Fits very well with the subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 06:30:59 PM
A bit of a surreal quality to this. I like it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:36:43 PM
That is a really cool color tone. I love this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love the cool tone

interesting building, gives the eye plenty to look at, I like the processing on this
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:28:42 PM
Big, powerful and love how it drags my eye down and off the right side of the photo. Great choice of color here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:08:43 PM
Good shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting perspective. Great detail. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:55:09 PM
It feels like I know this place but can't remember. I like the sense of mass you've captured. Maybe just a bit more contrast would bring out the details.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:11:19 PM
Interesting color cast to this image
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:07:54 PM
I like the patterns and color on this. Very nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 02:24:02 PM
Monochrome works well here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:47:02 PM
well done shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:45:02 PM
Great repetition here, and helps to make the unique objects stand out more. Something looks a little funny up near the top with the blues around the wires and scaffolding on the left... processing perhaps?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:00:07 PM
Interesting looking building
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 12:05:13 PM
This almost looks like something you'd expect in a world long since flooded - the doors used to be those serving trucks but no longer as the water keeps rising... The blue toning adds to a sort of apocalyptic feel of sorts.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:35:01 AM
excellent detail. b/w conversion or hue/sat left banding in the sky
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:29:01 AM
I dont like wires in a picture but this one works because it kind of has to be there. haha. Love the blue hue.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:20:07 AM
great detail, and perfect tones for an industrial shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:29:30 AM
Nice composition and colours. More contrast might suggest the idea of power.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/10/2009 09:49:42 PM
This is one instance where the overly saturated teal/cyan works.. 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/10/2009 09:02:28 PM
Wonderful duotone. Perfect shade of aqua for the subject matter. I like this a lot.
