WOW is all I can say to this one. You have made an exceptionally beautiful photograph incorporating some of the ugliness of our society (the litter of the stump and the dread of seeing a tanker full of oil next to a beautiful beach). I see people trying to do this with logged forests and smokestacks over the desert, but this is the most effective image I have seen showing the reality of our industrialized world juxtaposed on the natural environment. This is a stunning image from the real world. Very impressive.
