Approaching Storm
by Stagolee

Comment:
My dilemma in deciding how to score this it that the subject of interest is the storm, i.e. most of the image, and those stormy skies also constitute the negative space. So the negative space does not add to subject, it "is" the subject. On further reflection I'll consider the band of crepuscular rays (which I like) as the subject.

I second Mark's comment. Great contrasts.

Great POV and story here. I like the patterns made by the plates and areas of motion blur.

Lovely abstract of trees and surroundings. I like the B&W. Back to comment and bump.

I like the choice of B&W and the slight tone you added here. This got an average score on my scoring scale. The aggressive vignette, lack of "breathing room" above the peak, and a flatness/lack of contrast in the processing of the rocks and snow held me back from scoring it higher.

A great piece of furniture and a lovely capture of its texture and details. However, I am slightly put off by the exaggerated colors on the book spines, especially the red, which to my eye competes with the red in the sofa.

Very elegant composition and tones. Nice lines. I would have scored it higher if there had been a greater DOF so that more of petal surfaces with the water drops were in focus.
