Please excuse the schizophrenic remarks.  If you are not a member of this
extractive industry or power industry then this is a fine shot demonstrating
the huge mounds of coal? with a conveyer system to show scale.  If it is
coal then you handled a difficult exposure with aplomb.

If you are a member of the industry then you could have gotten closer,
wider, and shown the top of the rear mountain.  This would have even further
demonstrated the huge quantities of material being moved around a little
better, with more emphasis than your shot has.

Contrawise, also if you are in this industry, and were showing the beauty of
it all try shoot at dawn or just as the sun sets to take advantage of the
grazing sun light over the ripples in the material.

So, schizophrenia under control, this is a solid shot depicting something we
all depend on in the modern world with some beauty and educational value.
These industrial sites can be extremely difficult to convey as well as you
have.  If you have access within this industry then take advantage of that
access and do more with something most of us can not get near to or may not
realize exists.
