Photographer’s Note
A little info about the Mine. Was part of the trip with the Salt River canyon and the Critter Pictures.
Located in eastern Arizona about an hour drive northeast of Safford on the scenic Coronado Trail, this site provides a spectacular view of Arizona's largest mining operation - the Phelps Dodge Morenci mine. The Morenci mine, the largest copper mine in the US, produces over 750 million pounds of copper a year and has moved over 1,000,000 tons in a day! The overlook is about 5 miles north of the town of Morenci on Highway 191.

I like the idea of showing an "industrial landscape", and I was attracted by the composition in this image. The colors are awful, i did a workshop and tried to improve them. Interesting note.

Very intersting note and again an intersting sight... About quality of your picture, I agree with Oliver (paguru) and like his WS.
Though, is is a very good picture for TE!
