What all the fuss is about, a photo from Central, North

Photographer's Note

Hard to understand that this black stuff is causing so much problems and controlling so many lives...

This one is from my last trip to Bahrain, I figured that i had to see a real oil well now that I am living and working in the Gulf, so I drove a little outside Manama to find this one, then just sat and waited for the sun to go down.

So that's where you are now. Neat! I like the composition here but I'm not sure about your focusing decision. Personally I would prefer to see the well sharp. Regards,

Very nicely composed with the sun between the machine. Great graduated color, too. My 1st reaction was also that the focus is a bit off, but just a little. Still a great shot,
Dave

Hi Hary
Simply and beautiful capture; a minimalistic composicion that keep our glance into the strong colors and contrasts. Good POV and framing. Well done. Best regards, Consuelo
