Cause and Effect

Draw your own conclusions.

Taken at the Cleveland Lakefront this cold winter morning, which was littered with dead fish, that even the seagulls didn't seem to want to eat.

Absolutely beautiful composition and tone. Excellent capture! Sad about the environment (but that's a completely different subject). The photo is just awesome though! Great work!

Beautiful capture of a not so beautiful scene.

Thanks everyone. Yes it is sad, how we treat nature, and you can see the signs and symptoms of it all around.

Wow, awsome shot Matt. This is a very effective image. I think the dark tone and dramatic sky as well as the vingeting really add to the mood nicely. Powerful work.

The only thing I don't care for are the bushes, I think it would make the image much cleaner and give a better view of the factory without them, but I'm sure there wasn't much you could do about them.

Kick ass... you should send it to some environmental agency.... and get them to put a slogan with it lol

outstanding job, most people would just see a dead fish, go "oh gross" and keep walking, but you turned it into a piece of story-telling artwork, amazing... always love your work, right down to the titles...

Thanks alot for your kind comments everyone I thought about this all day, and was compelled to go back and take more pictures. I'm going through them now. I hope to post one tonight.

Wow, very powerful shot Matt! I love the comp, dof, framing, name and everything else about it. I bet Green Peace would like this shot. Looking foreward to the rest of the shots!
