What a great image! Upon looking at it I feel a sense of hopelessness and despair. I feel sorrow for the man and child walking into this industrialized labyrinth veiled by the haze and fog. Although not real picturesque, this image really tells a story - albeit sad. It is an outstanding work of photojournalism!

This image is outstanding on so many different levels. It has so many great elements in the composition brought together superbly. Being a kayaker myself, I can envision myself floating through this very peaceful and beautiful scene! Looks like the house is suspended in the fog on it’s own little island… great job of using the fog to isolate it. Really OUTSTANDING image!
Thank you everyone for a great contest with so many outstanding entries.
