Ah the pollution!



The colour is interesting, a rather sickly green. The rain on the surface of the water makes it seem like it is boiling!

I resized the text and changed the bright white into a less extreme colour. I hope the text does not dominate the image anymore. Personally I do not like frames but I will make some experiments. Thanks for all the good hints!

Stunning pic, great composition and color. The text on the picture is horrible though. Waay to big and obtrusive, it severely impacts the subject and forces the eye to stare at it rather than the composition. Add a frame and put it in there is my suggestion.

Ow yeah, that's really great.
It has a very special atmosphere I hardly can describe...
The only thing you could improve is the title on the image, because I think it's too big and dominant because of its brightness...

Good point.

Black gold is the image with the biggest text. I will correct that later!

BTW. Thanks for the fav!!!!
