Great subject but I think you should have focussed more on the yellow water of the river than on a general view to have a more emotional (& journalistic) impact.
Ok, Cocor...Thanks!
You have the yellow water now! ha ha...
Wow, this is really a news. Unfortunately not a good one. Great photo.
Great approach!
I like it better now that you focused on the water.
WOW! A freightening view!
water is just to colorful, IMO
omg ! great
The orange color is real....(the water was like this: red and orange ) Sunday , last week , the river was contaminated with heavy metals. You can see press release and photo here: http://observator.antena1.ro/fiiobservator/material/POLUARE-PE-ARIES_1803.html
Thank you, so glad I saw your latest comment before I voted. An amazingly beautiful photo of something really ugly.
