    HDR? I looks like it's from a sunset.

    It wasn't level. So I had to correct it. I wish that the smoke from the smokestack was more vibrant.

    But nice.

    Yeah. Do the smokestacks light up at night?
    But that sepia tone actually looks nice. Post the regular HDR. I want to see and compare.

    I like the subject especially in the foreground of the mountains. I do not like this particuliar colorcast though. The image looks soft. I see what looks like an abrupt cut in the picture jusr to the side of the power plant. Looks like two images panned together. I'm not sure if it is the reflection just giving this odd appearance or had something to do with your post processing. Good framing
