This was one of my favorites from the challenge. It's just... bizarre. I love the ring of light in the ice, the strange prismatic effect that's going on, the small petal/stick on the aged flower, the branch... pretty much everything. Just a very cool shot. The icicle trailing down, mirroring the stalk, is nice.

Hands down the best portrait, by a good margin. Hope to see this near the top.
Great posing, love the lighting.

Love the railyard. All those lines... just gives the viewer so much to take in. Like arteries branching out, carrying the lifeblood of the city. Perfect subject matter for bw, and the uniformly grey sky is perfect. It would almost feel amiss if it were detailed with clouds.

Curious to hear where this is, it's a wonderful scene. The light falls on the mountains just perfectly, in a fashion that shows their ridges in relief very well. Flat lighting on mountains sucks, but capturing them like this is grand. Very nice shot. It could just be by happenstance or that the scene was naturally that way, but the variance in the cloud texture feels a bit awkward and almost as though it's a result of PP. I'm referring to the smoothness of the clouds through all the scene but the top right, where they have much finer detail. Again, could just be how things looked, but it's the first thing I thought.

Very nice pano you've got here. The detail is awesome, and the aspect works very well here. You've got a couple oddities in your sky, and I only point them out because I myself am guilty of forgetting about the same thing time and time again. It's like I get the whole thing done and realize I left some weird junk in the sky. I don't think I've ever done a pano and gotten everything the first time around.

The flowers are pretty cool on this, and I really like their presence. Things seem really cropped though, which makes me wonder since you could zoom up to 135 if it just wasn't possible to get closer. Getting a bit elevated would've been cool for this, perhaps by standing on your car, or alternately, getting up into the flowers themselves and use the depth of field to accentuate the distance. But I think elevating, then using a portrait format, slightly aimed down and combined with a hyperfocal distance would be splendid for this one.

The train really makes this shot, IMO. It creates a dramatic sense of scale, which is only compounded by the string of generators in the background. The centered composition works well, since it is complimented by the train and other generators, but I'm left wanting to see the intersection of the furrows with the train. Perhaps you didn't include it because the train ends there, but leaving it could have drawn the viewer through the scene a bit more strongly. It's implied as is, though, so it still functions, but it seems a bit incidental like this. I'm a big sucker for wind generators; love 'em.

Ooo I like the pan on this. Nice lighting you've captured here. I'd personally consider maybe chopping a bit more off the bottom.

Very cool bridge, and I like the shot, but that fence is just killing things, mostly where it juts into the sky. I wouldn't have noticed it but for that.

The foliage works well to frame this, and the bw does the lighting justice. A little more contrast to accentuate the texture of the stone, perhaps, but nice as is.
