What an image, Paul. I wonder if it would look even better/more balanced with a little more black ground on show.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Stunner - I especially like the contrast between the steam lit by sunlight on the right and the much darker brooding cloud in the top left.

They've already said it - this is a stunning photo. Is this the power station at, I believe Radcliffe on Trent that you see from the M1 in Notts?

This is great Paul. Just seen having seen your later posting. This is an even stronger image. Am inclined to agree with Andrew's comment as to whether it might be even better with a little more dark foreground

I prefer this one. It looks better then its previous versions ('Drax' and 'Drax Emission').
