Photographer's Comment: For New Years Theme. Actually Jim M kind of inspired this one from a recent post on the forum. Only PS was saturation / hue adjustment layer and cropping.

In a the new issue of the Rolling Stone magazine, an interview with author Cormac McCarthy, he claims that humans will likely destroy each other long before an environmental catastrophe sets in. "We're going to do ourselves in first," he says.

By karmal (2008-01-03 01:54:02 ): Hi Carl. I like this symbolic environmentalist composition. The opposing elements: industrial structure/smoke and tree with "dying" branches; and the use of red filter as a sign of danger; makes a clear statement on the issue. Great capture. Carlos

By deborrah (2008-01-03 01:46:18 ): I like it....I like it...great contrast and shapes/lines and love the white smoke., Nice job!

By Jim915 (2008-01-02 23:13:53 ): Carl - this works really well for me. The composition with the smoke and silhouette make a strong image even without the red. The PS work really makes the image an eye catcher.
