Very intense color. Just my take, but it would look better without the construction cranes and whatever MFI is. Perhaps they could be cloned out. The church steeple is perfect.

I think most cities/towns would be better off without an MFI (Cr*ppy furniture store!) and a load of cranes, but that's how it is (or was this morning in this case).

I'd love to know what the 'slagbank' is though (something to do with mining?)

Great sky though.

Nice work stuart.

the slagbank was the wast from the ironworks in its time was the biggest in europe it used to light up all the sky a bit like this picture when they tipped out the red hot slag the iron works closed in the 1960,s

Nice view - great colour control. I visit KC in Barrow quite often but never early enough for sunrise!

The foreground has suffered with your post processing in Bibble and PS, I think it would look better with your foreground as a sillouette. Lovely colours though.

Good work Stu

I guess to each his own, but i love the intesity of the colors, and as far as the cranes or the MFI, i am not a fan of cloning too many things out, this is the way the scene played, this is the way the scene was recorded for posterity, and in my eyes that is what is all about. Good work Stu. The intensity is overwhelmig.

The two cranes are defining aspects of the Barrow skyline, as they are actually part of the shipyard (not construction cranes). In particular, with out the big one (on the right) it would just be any old city/town skyline.

Great shots, really love the colour..... almost makes me feel home sick for Barrow.....NOT.
