Wow! nice caption, pretty portrait. But do you have another shot to complete the story...?

I'm not to sure about the combination of this lovely young girl and the industrial plant in the background. I like the combination of fur and grass, which gives a very nature feel, but the plant....humm..
Unless you would have taken the girl with the plant when it blew up, like in your previous pic, then there would be a great contrast that would surely be a motive by itself with a title such as "innocence against destruction" or something like that.
Otherwise technically speaking the composition is well done, with the girl standing upright and the chimneys with the same vertical line and the exposure seems good to me.

Nice picture but would have been greatly improved if you had waited 1 minute.

Very good technic,definition and colors are perfect. The young girl pose but it give to the picture all of it's sence. I love her smile. It's to bad that the stacks are not falling down in same time but you wouldn't be able to catch that scene if it would happened.

Very well done

I realy hope you have the follow-up shot because this is such a good picture her angelic smile , the grass and her coat are all superbly captured, and it would be such a shame not to be able to show maybe the surprise in her face with the bang and the dust cloud.

It's a nice portrait Delboy. But really why not wait another minute before shooting...
