Genie of the factory Photo

Photographer’s Note

Every night, I wait for my train just beside this factory that evacuates a white smoke. Doesn't it look like a genie who decided to get out of the pipe where he lived?

I especially like the colors and crispness of the picture. Also a very nice crop of the picture. Unfortunately there is this sign which draws the view on it.
But in total its a very nice work.

Hey Martine | The sign is probably saying - 1 wish per person only! or Beware! Factory genie! Will only grant the wishes of other factory workers!

An interesting caption is as important as other photo aspects, but unfortunately most people (like me) are lazy and call a bird a bird and a fish a fish. I'm just very glad you didn't call this smoke a smoke. =)

Also, it is good that you carry your camera and take pictures wherever you are! The building beside is great for scale, and the photo is nicely cropped.

Well done! | Lynn

L'histoire ne dit pas si le génie quitte la manufacture pour prendre le train de banlieue... :-)

Bien vu Martine. Je me demande bien d'où provient cette fumée, ou peut-être plus de la vapeur ? je me demande si les règlements autoriseraient une sortie de fumée à un si bas niveau. J'aime beaucoup cette photo toute en verticale et évidemment l'humour dans l'interprétation...

Une cheminée en bas du batiment , c'est pas un genie celui qui a dessiné les plans ! une image insolite , bien vu .

Simple but great shot. Very good idea to take this one. I like the steam. You choosed the right angle here. Well seen.

Nice shot brought to live by your comic title, Martine. Good shot: well chosen composition, good colours. Well done & well seen!

This is funny! Even the upper part of the steam looks as if it will materialize, and solidify into agenie with a booming voice and a wide grin. I like the color combination. Maybe the sign says be careful waht you ask for, because you might get it.

Je savoure le titre de cette photo ainsi que tous les autres. J'aime beaucoup l'interprétation de cette fumée, un génie? Faisons trois demandes: de voir d'autres photos de vous, de vous garder cet oeil enviable et longue vie à TE. Belle composition.

Que vous ête observatrice Martine d'avoir vue cette immeuble et pensé à ce titre qui en fait le summum de la photographie. Haut la main...Gaétan
