The Cement Factory

I went to a cement factory with a friend today. took a few shots before we got kicked out. i didnt mind because i was so cold and i was only in a thin hoody. the temp was like 2 degress F, so it wasnt the most fun. but on the other hand finals are finally over so i needed to get out. heres one of them so check it out and feel free to edit anything.

Re: The Cement Factory

I like this. The distortions are working to the advantage of the image and your composition. This looks like some strange, science fiction sort of industrial site the way it has been captured. The black background and mysterious shadows make for a very interesting image. Good work

Re: The Cement Factory

I think you have a great eye for composition. I like the angles on this one. A interesting subject and a good choice for a night picture. I don't think it would have been as good shot in the day. The lights work well because they all seem symmetrical.

Re: The Cement Factory

I agree. Very nice shot. The lines, angles, shapes made the converging lines, all work well. The colors are nice and the lights work well. Good shot.

Re: The Cement Factory

Nothing more to add really. The owner might be interested in this one to hang in the office. Nice image.
