Anti-Pollution Poster

Pulled this out of the archives today. I had come across this deceased bird roaming around the Morro Bay jetty. My first thought as I was shooting was an anti-pollution ad or poster. So I added the title and the image became stronger. Enjoy!

Shot with a 10-24mm @ 10 mm, 1/250, f/9 @iso 200.

The skies look beautifully bright and clear. Factory also looks as if it were located into a lightly populated or not populated at all.

My suggestion -if I had to do it- would be to grim the whole scene. This poster makes me want to move the roadkill, and do some fishing.

Just my .02 , and thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the advice.

Yup, with a little photoshop work (OK, a lot of Photoshop work) you could turn this into a very real looking disaster....

I ranted about ethics in modifying photos like this, but as I reread your post, you are just sharing the pic.
So thanks for sharing.

What do you mean "ranted about ethics in modifying photos like this"?

Sorry Bryan, my post did not explain it well at all. Last night there was a response, referring to doing some PP to your original photo to make it look dreadful.

And so I went ape, and typed a lengthy post about how in my opinion it would not be ethical to modify a poster 'against pollution' by adding fake pollution, or manipulating the picture to be something it was not.

Then I wrote that if anything, there were other places in the area, that do pollute something awful, and might work better for a realistic Press photograph.

But then I went back to the photo, to look at it some more, and re-read your post for the tenth time. I realized you mentioned 'archive', and 'just sharing'. So I found all my 'ranting' unnecessary given the situation, after all you were just sharing the pic and not looking for serious CC or a discourse on ethics.

So a minute after posting my original response, I hit Edit, and changed it to what it reads above.

Again, it was my bad and not yours.

I hope this explains it.

I see Mario. No harm no foul. Though I am always in the mood for some destructive criticism.
