Description The landscape of an industrial wilderness. One can only guess what machinery this long-abandoned place used to house.

High voltage lines, pneumatic and hydraulic pressure pipes, and enough oil to kill half the seals in Alaska.

Comment/critique highly appreciated.

Thank you kindly. It wasn't incredibly easy, since the depth of field was so paper-thin.

This is an exceptional shot that you've taken. I can feel a strong feeling of desolation and abandonment emanating from the image itself. You have a great talent in photography. If I were you I wouldn't be afraid to take it to new heights. Excellent work.

What new heights would those be, if I may inquire.

Wow, you have beautifully captured this old place - I wish I could have seen it! There are a couple of places like this here in Johannesburg too, but I would not dare go in there even if I had a full police escort, would get robbed and killed for sure.

I really like this image. Since you say this is an HDR image, I wonder if you shouldn't have captured a but more detail in the shadow areas? (what you captured here looks more like it all fit into the dynamic range of a single image). But I love the atmosphere.

And when I went there, the only other person was a girl.
Ah, you see, I do not use HDR to enhance detail in shadow areas. There was plenty more, to be sure, but I like this effect I can achieve with HDR. It would have looked really ordinary with just a boost in shadow detail.
