straight before this beautiful dark black capture

hmmm... points for trying an artistic twist with the (journal?) text overlay. I'm going to have to come back to this and look at it again before the challenge ends. Not sure about the shadow. Georgeous colors. -- On second look, still don't really care for the shadow, but like the rest overall, quite a bit. - 8

Concrete Landscape

Comment:
Cool. Surreal colors. This is edging into processing territory that I tend not to like, but I think it works for this shot. The effect on the trees in the foreground reminds of shooting with tungsten-based slide film. Hope you aren't getting grief from people saying it isn't a landscape, because it most certainly is. - 8

Austrian Alps

Comment:
Cool photo. The structure adn the tree seem a little cramped on the left and there is a bit too much grass in the foreground for my taste, but they sky and details on the mountains is very nice. - 7

Rainbow Rocket

Comment:
Great capture. I know this is expert editing and I shouldn't trust my eyes, but I do hope that the rainbow is real and not added in post. The captured transition between the stormy and the clearing sky is very well done. - 8

Far and Away

Comment:
Very cool. Is the blur applied in post (I'm guessing yesas it seems a little too uniform to be natural) or part of the original image. Either way, very nice capture and beautifully composed. - 8

A Day Out

Very harsh and clashing tones. The power line (?) running through the upper-middle third is very distracting.

Trees and Sky

Just comes across as a jumble--idea is interesting, but execution needs work.

Field of Dreams

Comment:
This is actually a great idea and, viewed purely from a compositional standpoint, the image is very strong. However, the collage elements don't blend together well and the whole comes across very artificial. (If it's not a collage, then I amend my comment to say: the pp creates a very artificial collage effect).

Tranquility

Comment:
This reminds me of some other work that I have seen elsewhere. Is this an homage to some famous work? Anyway... the idea is interesting, but it dosen't come across well for me. I know that the composition is not supposed to look "natural", but the sky you've placed behind the buildings just doesn't fit. I think that its the differing light angles implied by the shadows in the foreground buildings (implying a light source above and to the front left of the photo) and the obvious light source in the background (above and to the back left).

Uplifting View

Interesting idea. Unfortunately, the subject comes across as the planes, not the landscape. Take the planes away and the surrounding scene isn't very interesting. Also, if the planes were going to be an element, it would have been more interesting to see them from the front, rather than the back, and to have them larger in the frame.
