I think scenes like this require, I think, that you find some compositional eleents to give it strength in that large foreground area - to emphasise the vastness of it, if you like. I like your having the good foreground detail, but not that it dashes out of frame so very quickly - I would perhaps have tried to organise that line so that it lead the eye more into frame than out of it. Also you have those whell tracks to use, but you've placed those in a very weak area of frame.

I'm never sure how to compose shots of circular things - this is as good as anything, I think.

Don't know what to make of this at all. The light seems terribly false (looking at reflections in eyes. A hell of an image though. No idea what score to give you.

Solid, neat, strong composition. even that darkening of the sky is pretty well done. Good colours throughout. Just lacks an edge for me to take it into the world of wow.

I like the basis of this - bot sure about your placing of the horizon line, it would perhaps have more impact for being either higher or lower in frame; and of course you have problems with compression, particularly in the ksy areas - which could also happily have been toned down somewhat compared to the land. But as I said, that basic composition, the curving road, the dog, the whatever on the horizon, I like very much.

Wonderful capture - they're so bizarre when they're flying :-)

Like this. Great light, colours, exposure. For me, the feel of the sky might be atouch out of place with the hyper-sharp feel of the ground; I wonder if adding a little noise (something quite even, gaussian) might bring it into the same visual territory? Fine work.

Another fine photograph. ther seems a lack of sharpness/focus around the horizon - well, that ship/whatever - perhaps a little close work with the clone tool could have tidied up the edges of it. Great balance of it and the little con-trail though. Good vision, and good shooting.

In the Path of Havoc

Lovely work. To be hugely picky (but then the standard's so high in this challenge) - the top of the clouds looks bizarre, like you've taken too much of the punch of light out of them to get that definition, and that removes some impact from the darkness of beneath the storm. The boat gets too lost in the surf-line, also - i think ti would help for it to be a little fuller in frame, certainly at the available resolution here, which restricts detail so much. I think i'd have tried to get closer and lower, to get more boat and still the tops of the clouds. As I said, hugely picky though, those points.
