Nice tonal range, and good contrast.
Works well for me, possibly a small crop from the bottom to lose the black corner, but not really needed.

What I really like about this composition, is the clouds/steam aren't out of frame.

Very good framing.

Wonderful shot on a mundane subject! Excellent control of tonal range.. very nice!

The steam/smoke is pretty awesome.

Outstanding!

I really like this one. I love how the smokestack, the smallest visible part of the plant, "dominates" the whole place with that steam.
Nice!

The steam/smoke is pretty awesome.

In all honestly, this photo is all about the smoke/steam. This is the manufacturing plant of Morris Industries (farm-equipment company) that's about 150 miles from here. I drive by a couple times a year, and there's always this amazing column of white smoke or steam that makes the view beautiful (assuming it's PC to say "beautiful" about industry). The plant is at the edge of this valley town of 2,500, and the smoke/steam totally steals the valley view. Only a couple days ago did I have a chance to shoot it for the first time.

I love how the smokestack, the smallest visible part of the plant, "dominates" the whole place with that steam.

I'm glad someone noticed it

Thankee all!

Nice. Guess I reacted to the right thing then.

Very nice B&W industrial Federico. This looks like a 4x5 view shot from the good 'ol days. PC looks spot on...Very nice!

 

[Mully]

Very nice tones.... it looks better with a black background for sure

Well done. Looks like film - did you add grain?

The smoke is so beautiful I almost wish the rest of the scene weren't there.

I did add grain. I do it often, actually.

The smoke is so beautiful I almost wish the rest of the scene weren't there.

I have to agree with that

Thank you for the feedback, gentlemen.

Not my favorite of yours but I am biased because this is what I take photos of for work.

Color version?

Bonus points if anyone else knows what this facility does.

I thought you said your thing was photographing construction workers mud wrestling. I guess I got the wrong idea.

Color version?

Haven't processed this in colour, but here's the file SOOC:
