Ah, you may be right Rod. This is just a tough one to get the look I want and will likely go in pending soon. I wish I had gotten more sky. This was a strange place. Kind of the middle of nowhere with a plant, little town, and a graveyard. Made me think these people were born to slave in the factory and then just died.

Possibly too contrasty Brent, Ansel used tones & not contrast in in his picys I think.

Thanks Cat :-) The top edge did look a bit like like spray paint I guess :-) I reworked it some. When shooting this I abrubtly stopped on the highway to run across and get this image because the scene (though not as good) reminded me of one of Ansels most famous images of a graveyard in New Mexico where he later explained he screached to a halt and quickly setup his camera in his truck bed to get just one frame before the lighting changed.

Pretty good one Brent! This is good one too. Few things I think ..Ummm.. I feel somehow the sky is abruptly dark near the top border. I would rather see a gradient there....if possible.
