Make it look like nuclear winter in this shot - fantastic.

Very good image. One question - the smoke is going from the bottom right to the top left. As a western reader, that is counter-instinctual to me. Have you tried flipping the image around, and mirror-reversing it? Then the smoke would go from the bottom left to the top right. I'm not sure it would make the image better, in fact it might make it too comfortable.

Actually, the more I look at it, the better I like the way the smoke moves. My eye comes in from the top left, goes down to the cooling towers, and then bounces back out with the steam. There's a real tension. I like it.

hey flatline,
thanks for your suggestion, i didn't tried it before. but for now it's completely strange for me to see, and in the moment it's not working for me.
maybe a look on it tomorrow let me think differently. i like your idea and that's the reason why i post my images here, to get some helpful hints to make my shots better.
