Reminds me of a Star Trek film television image. (The 1970's Star Trek!)

Simplicity and minimalism defined! You have captured an open space and minimized it into it's base elements while capturing the light and tonality of the scene.

Super rich colors. It's like an oil painting! Nice!

The colors are super rich. I like what you have done here. The landscape is shown minimally and you have captured the vast expanse of the sky. I also like the way you have lined the subject up with the light. I think the silhouette is not quite sharp enough and when I was working on my image, I noticed that applying too much noise reduction to the entire image reduced the sharpness considerably. I am guessing that might be a similar problem here.

Great exposure and quite an uncluttered look to this. The shapes, the lines, the texture, the rich color all add to the quality of the shot. I am assuming this is two exposures or a well merged HDR.

I really like the chosen point of view for this shot. It adds strength.

This is cool. You took a small space and made it a minimal landscape. There is not much richness in the light captured here and there is a reddish cast on the photo.I do like the made mountain.

It would have been cool if the mountain were capped with snow and the rest had melted... but I assure you that I am not voting on what is not in the photo.

All the blue makes it very cold which is neither good nor bad. I love the shape and reflection shown. Triangle = Strength.

The tones are very light, kind of high key, but not really. I would rather see more shadows in your exposure. The sky has some significant amounts of noise which does not appear to be used to add texture or dimension to the photo.

The foreground is very well exposed (but just a little over-sharp) and I like how it leads you up to the top left corner of the photo. Unfortunately that is where the problems begin. The blowout kind of kills the color of the barn and there is significant digital banding artifacts in the sky.
