I was out in Huntington and saw the frozen harbors, so decided to drive over to Northport. I spotted these giant smokestacks from a long way off and they looked beautiful to me. Beautiful colors, with red and white stacks against a deep blue sky, with white steam. What's better than that? So then the trick was to find the best place to shoot them from. I found this frozen inlet and walked out on the ice to get a clear shot. Then as I walked back through the woods, I became fascinated with the stacks as seen through the trees. It makes for a more complex image, and I actually think that it is a better photograph. I don't know, what do you think?

I prefer the top photo because of the bright clear colors. Simple. bsk
I say 2nd photo, because of your reasons. More complex composition. More interesting to look at.-- Stan
I wanted to like the first picture the best, but there was something going on in the second photo that wouldn't let go - something that made me keep coming back to look at the complexity of the woods layered over the stacks. Thanks to all of you for your comments.
