It is strange how you are out to photograph one thing and find something totally different. I was shooting blue herons from the columbia river dike in camas and turned around to find this industrial shot behind me. I think it came out well, how about you?

Very graphical. I like it Jerry. It could be sharpened up a little more...

I hate to break it to you Jerry, but that's not a heron.
Seriously though, I find this challenging to look at (in a good way). For instance, I had to stare at it a bit before I understood how the bottom of the cage worked. The shadow clearly shows the cage ending but they extend below the shadow. (For a while, I thought the light was below the horizon somehow.) I also needed to figure out which of the silos were in front of the others which wasn't obvious at first (to me). Anyway the main thing I like about this is how it's just possible to reconstruct the 3-D version of this from your 2-D image.
Any chance you'd catch a heron on one of those? (They sit/sleep on the side rail of the offramp from WA-520 in the Washington Arboretum, but only when traffic's moving enough that it's totally not safe enough to stop.)
