Industrial Disease

[Jorge Rodrigues]

Hi,

Don't know if this qualifies more as an Avian or Landscape image, but decided to post it here anyway. In the Montijo area near the river Tagus estuary (near Lisbon) there are extensive wet areas with some huge factories in between. The photo tries to extract some beauty of this sad scenario.




Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III, EF 600 @ f/4, 1/8000, ISO 500.

Regards,

[Dave Leroy]

Well done on the silhouette, very sharp. Hopefully the remaining wetlands have been protected as habitat,

Welcome to BPN, Jorge! The BG tells the story and I like the composition, BG colors and would darken the bird even more. Keep them coming!

[Arthur Morris]

Hay Jorge. Welcome! This one is well executed and is worth 1,000 words... The COMP balance is perfect as are the techs. My only wish is that the bird were flying perfectly parallel to the imaging sensor rather than slightly away.

lovely image Sir, sure the image shows how we are cutting into their habitat.. loved the light through the nostril.

[Stu Bowie]

Clever title, and love the silhouette. I like the softer colour in the BG.

[David Fletcher]

Fabulous! Nothing else to add.

Striking. Poignant. Says more than a 1000 words..
