The Sky Was Steaming by digitalrn

The Sky Was Steaming

It was a cold, but beautiful day today. A few snow squalls, but that's something I can deal with. When I went out for my noon time break today, the sun was behind the darkened clouds, and the steam coming off the distant smoke stacks looked so cool as it made its way up into the sky. I also took a shot of this in color. Not sure which one I like better. I am leaning more toward this one myself, but you can check out the other one and let me know what you think.
I love it, I think it looks great in B&W, do you have a link to the colour version?

How awesome! It looks like a train moving behind the trees. I like the feeling of movement

Yes, nice b&w. Inspires me to find a b&w image today!
January 4th, 2012  
Great b&w shot, like the way the sun catches the smoke.
January 4th, 2012  
Nice sunlight behind the steam!
January 4th, 2012  
I think its super lovely in B&W. The sunlight behind the steam gives such a lovely glow to the sky.
January 4th, 2012  
Oooo... very dramatic!
January 4th, 2012  
I love how this version really highlights the steam.
January 4th, 2012  
Great capture
January 4th, 2012  
love the lining of the clouds!
January 4th, 2012  
I like it in B&W. Looks like it is glowing!
January 4th, 2012  
Striking shot - the smoke leads the eyes around the scene. Lovely composition and B&W :)
January 4th, 2012  
I love the B&W but a part of me likes the color version a smidge better. It seems very otherworldly and I like that. Great job!
January 4th, 2012  
Nice capture Rick !
January 4th, 2012  
I like the B& W because it gives the steam clouds dimension. Great capture!
January 4th, 2012  
I, too, like the B&W. I think it adds drama and depth. A couple weeks ago we were in PA and we say some big stacks like these? What kind of smoke stacks are they....is it a power plant?
January 4th, 2012  
very nice the B&W makes it look very chilly. Happy New Year, Rick.
January 4th, 2012  
These clouds look like they are pouring from a steam locomotive the way they start near the ground and float up and away. Very nice in the B&W.
January 4th, 2012  
This looks like a smoke stack from a steam train nice shot
January 4th, 2012  
Very dramatic. Great contrast and lighting.
January 4th, 2012  
@marytj MAry, I think it is some foundry, not sure. It is close to Three Mile Island, but it is not that.
January 4th, 2012  
I'm a b&w lover so my vote is for this one. :)
January 4th, 2012  
i like the tones in the black & white the best i think
January 4th, 2012  
This is nice...but I really like the colored picture.
January 5th, 2012  
like it in b&w, can really feel the cold air.
January 5th, 2012  
I like this one as it looks like locomotive at first and like the color one for the tones of the glowing clouds. Hard to choose my favorite but imthink the color one because of warm glow and it was not too colorful. It looked like u made it b anew then faded in a bit of the color.
January 5th, 2012  
Somebody should tell those trees that smoking is not good for your health! Good catch Rick!
January 5th, 2012  
lovely!
January 5th, 2012
