What is beautiful and what is ugly? I thought this industrial scene beautiful. But most people think such scenes ugly. What's that all about?
Cheers, Mike

Thanks Doug. It might have been a bit sharper had my dog not hurryied me along with our walk Here's a wider view showing the Jackknife Bascula Bridge that originally had two levels when built over 100 years.
Michael, I don't think industrial scenes are ugly at all, I see them as very interesting places. Of course, there are some that have a heritage and most are very worthy of being documented.
It's a real shame about your initial image lacking sharpness (it's perspectives could do with being corrected too), but I think you should definitely go back and try again because this image is a good one.
Also, your second shot just leaves me wanting to see more of this place with it's iron-works and buildings up ahead.
Go back and document the hell out of it...I would.

By the way, I'm loving your landscapes of the Peak District that bring back memories of outings in my youth. We're visiting the UK next spring and plan to spend time around Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire. Maybe we can arrange a photo shoot. Cheers, Mike.
I find this beautiful at first glanc as it has eye-catching horizontal layers, two with a pleasant blue and one with intriguing detail. I personally would like more structure in the water. I only say that as you have already committed to redo the picture!

I can't reshoot the original picture yet, Asher, because a combination of wind and current made ripples on the water. What I have done, though, is to reprocess the original file to crop more severely and sharpen the image. Sorry there's no more structure to the water but that's how it looked that day and the reason I took the picture. Cheers, Mike
I think the scenery to be not ugly, but your shot itself is not satisfying to me.
