Veramente bella e drammatica allo stesso tempo...

I'm almost tempted to say that this is better than the other! Again, excellent contrast and comp, like the little fire in the middle of the shot too, but that smoke contrasting against the clouds - awesome!!!!


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 10/12/2005
Thanks Mervo, appreciate your comments :)


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 10/12/2005

Very Good Composition Ina

Erbil


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 10/12/2005
Thanks Erbil :)


Gabriela Tanaka   {K:17991} 10/12/2005
From among the 3 shots with smokestacks I like THIS ONE!That dramatically shaped smoke-like-cloud looks like suspended cotton!As if it were put there by hand!The foreground, though dark, looks alive. The small fire draws the eye. Very special composition and the best chosen tonality8from among the 3 shots).
Love from Gabriela


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 10/12/2005
Thanks very much Gabriela, maybe I shouldn't have included the 3rd picture, but I didn't want to change the subject... I like to work in series... Love, Ina


Ali Firat Bulca   {K:417} 10/12/2005
this is wonderfully captured! great exposure you have chosen here. well done


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 10/12/2005
Thanks again, Ali, and welcome to UF :)


Brian Fillmore   {K:4016} 10/12/2005
Great view of an industrial site with the smoke lying there like a cloud. Well done.


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 10/12/2005
Thanks again Brian :)


Frédéric Gaillard   {K:425} 10/12/2005
very impressive ! :-)


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 10/12/2005
Thanks Frederic :)


Endre Novak   {K:12534} 10/12/2005
Very nice job much in contradiction with the subject itslef: pollution. Great contrast and tones.
Superb work.
Endre


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 10/12/2005
Hi Endre, I knew the subject of pollution would come to mind in this series, although this wasn't my intention. However, it is undeniable. We often have smog advisories here, and I think a lot has to do not just with industries, but the cars we drive, the products we use, even agriculture. Having said this, I take the painterly approach... :)


Endre Novak   {K:12534} 10/12/2005
I do realise dear Ina the artistic part, just it was unavoidable to react on that.
My best,
Endre


Tony Diana   {K:13396} 10/12/2005
Gran calidad de imagen, preciosa


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 10/12/2005
Hi Endre, you are absolutely right :) there is more to every image than just what meets the eye! Sometimes there is an untold story, sometimes there are issues, and many times the photographer is just a recording eye, but once an image is out, it takes a life of its own! Kindest regards, Ina


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 10/12/2005
Thanks Tony :)


György Szönyi   {K:8347} 10/12/2005
Wow, Ina, what a coincidence of my clouds and your smoke. This is incredibly beautiful and overwhelming at the same time. The composition is perfect and I am flabergasted (is it right to use this word here?) by the technical quality. Not a pixel is burnt out in the glowing whites! I also like the blurred background sky. Congratulations: Gyorgy


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 10/12/2005
Hi Gyorgy, thanks for the compliments :) The contrast boost in Photoshop did lighten/ darken some areas more than I liked, but I had to find a compromise somewhere. I thought it was a pleasant surprise, too, when I saw your wonderful clouds today! We all see what's around us! Regards, Ina


Gust@vo Sch3v3rin   {K:121353} 10/13/2005
Impresionantes nubes.
Felicitaciones!


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 10/13/2005
And thanks very much x3 Gustavo :)


Neal Nye   {K:15827} 10/13/2005
Looks like it would be a hellish place in real life. But however those clouds were formed the make beautiful shapes. I like the diagonal composition and the coloring is perfect. This is my favorite of today's three.


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 10/13/2005
Thanks Neal :) Your preference is the majority of my visitors' preference as well, it seems. Thanks for letting me know! I love to get feedback. Best regards, Ina


NN     {K:26787} 10/13/2005
WOW ... very impressive, Ina! Very good tones with perfect composition. Love it!


Eleisa Martin   {K:2579} 10/16/2005
Amazing shot Ina. It looks like I can reach out and touch it.

Eleisa


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 10/16/2005
Thanks Eleisa :) This is my ongoing project. In fact, this afternoon I caught a red & white ship loading there, so there's going to be more of these. I really love this subject, the smoke is like white clouds - perhaps it's steam, I don't know. Thanks for your nice comments, Ina


Hugo de Wolf   {K:184981} 1/25/2006
Hi Ina, after your reply on your steel plant image, I decided to take a closer look at your portfolio.. .I could spend days going over the photos. Very impressive (Duh. Why am I not surprised). Love the plumes of steam; looks like the cooling of the coal / cokes. Great shot, with a very strong atmosphere.

Cheers,

Hugo


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 1/25/2006
Thanks very much Hugo, I have some new panoramics (crops) of this industrial complex with a cargo ship. Unfortunately I don't think I can do any panoramic stitching because the smoke changes from shot to shot :)
