Where even the stones are laughing at you

Nice perspective here.
I wasn't sure about your choice to make the background out of focus, but it simply forces your eye towards the harsh and perfectly sharp rock in the foreground, which is the subject so i guess the out of focus background works well.
Absolutely brilliant black and white tones though, would love to know what method you used to get them.

Nice colours, and the dark shadows on the bottom shelf seem to try and hide the chemical tins.

Twenty Below

Great shot.
Strong and powerful.
The sides of the bridge towering up, which are lit more than the rest of the picture force you to crawl along the bridge to where your eye meets the looming dark clouds in the sky.
The texture of the snow on the ridges of the bridge echo the struts of the railings with bumpy hard edges.
Good choice to burn out the bottom of the photo aswell, it pushes you into the scene now.

I'm not sure i like this new HDR phase that seems to have arrived.
Doesn't look realistic, looks like digital art.
I mean it's well done, you nailed what i can see you were aiming for, just that i dont like that.
:p

Wow, love this shot.
I'd have been tempted to give it a bit of a boost in contrast and possible vignet the edges very slightly.

Nice idea, but pretty harsh lighting, no pun intended.

Impressive, seems just ever so slightly underexposed to me though?
