Very nice. The two different colors in the smoke make it look like there are two seperarte subjects interacting.

I like these shots with the foreground and subject fully lit by the sun and the impending storm clouds behind and almost overhead.

Wow, I love these colors. How much post processing went into this? Were these the colors present you took the shot? It looks like something from the recent California fires. Anyway, very nice and unique capture.

Nice shot Gennaro. I like the duotone effect and the black background. I can easily see this being a first memory. Congratulations on your top ten finish.

I agree with the previous two comments. The main subject that I want to land upon is the distant city with the red glow, but the foreground buildings keep bringing my eyes back to them and that's not the 'pretty' part of the image. The tallest building interrupts the nicest part of the image which extends to the left of that building. So, to frame the center part of the shot with the tall building (or just part of it) framing the left side would improve this shot a lot. Maybe if you could just hop over to the next roof in the center or to the one on the right (it's closer) and compose the shot from there ;)

BTW, good idea for a nighttime shot. I think you have a great area to work with. edit spelling

Nice work getting a clean background. Great detail throughout most of the white which is very difficult to accomplish. The detail also in the eye that is most visible to us. I bet this looks even more fantastic in print.

Wow! You really blew away your previous PB. This is one of the shots that I went looking for after the challenge to see how well it did. The focus on those colors is perfect. Great job.

Unbelievable. I am now looking through the entries trying to find the final placement for some of the shots that I was concerned were going to beat mine. This was one of those shots. I thought you might take the blue ribbon with this one and I am very surprised that it didn't finish higher. I really, really like this shot. Very nice and unique entry.
