Now this one has some drama! Nice processing to get that dark sky and light clouds. Congrats also for not blowing out your highlights! 9 A few more things: Ansel Adams was not afraid to shoot in stark sunlight; I think he liked the contrast between the deep shadows and highlights. You also have a natural line that runs from the largest saguaro at left to the one at right. The opuntias are an added bonus and lend a lot of interest to the shot as well. Just some more evidence on the quality of your photo! I'm tempted to give this a 10. Perhaps had your photo just a few more shades of gray in between your highlights and shadows? Hmmmmm.

Very lovely study of this plane tree (sycamore). The tonal range is very nice, and invites the eye to go around and see every bit of texture it can. 9

I feel you've captured AA's style here nicely. The tonal range is very effective and very Adams. 8

Quirky composition, but it works for me. The trunk going up counterpointed by the tree reflection going down is weird, but effective. 8
