Thank you so much for your comments and input daniel, Sergio,Terry, and Kate, hmmm, looks like we need to jump a chapter or two huh? Or maybe I better explain just reiterate my initial statement. There used to be smoke stacks across Utah Lake (GENEVA STEEL PLANT). It was a historical landscape, however, its not there anymore. They were imploded this past year. And by the way, I'm not into politics. Nice catch though Kate!!! Thank you too #2060218

For the people who wrote "nice DOF" I hope you're smart enough to realize that it's not DOF, he wrote that he applied gaussian blur. he probably had bad DOF, didn't like it, the blurred it in photoshop to his liking.

otherwise nice work Darryl, and beautiful tones. congrats. #2264810
