A really striking image Richard, you can almost feal the heat and get the smell and noise of the place. the colours are brilliant and I love the highlights on the slag ? in the foreground, the intensity of the white is quite blinding as it would be and I think that subtle glow in the background sets it all off. A fantastic piece Richard.

It is blinding and while correct as it happens it&#39;s a scary sight to a country 11yr old when I first exnountered it across the road from my school in Teeside.<br />Thoughtfully well worked and depicted Richard.
