Awesome tight focal plane. Right where it needs to be. Great composition along with some history and a story. Simple, elegant and meaningful. Excellent.

Very, very nice. Obviously tone-mapped, but it leaves it with a very clean, pleasant image with a smooth and wide range of exposure. Well spotted subject. Nice entry.

Nice idea. Too bad you didn't have any Augustiner Edelstoff lying around to fill that thing. Still, it looks like cleaning up the shoot was fun.

Good idea. I think this would be even better with more contrast between the clouds and blue sky, and greater detail in the stonework. I think greater contrast in general, possibly warmer WB as well. It's clean and nice, but with some dramatic punch it'd be great. Of course there's also the small matter of straightening it a bit, but still a very well conceived entry.

Beautiful and dramatic tones to the sky and its reflection. Nice cityscape. Great composition and lighting on the foreground tree and brush. Wonderful shot.

Nice view. With different light (hitting the entire face) this would be even better. Nice tones and contrast.

Wonderful interior shot. Great composition that displays it all with everything squared up. Nice processing that provides a wide range of exposure while not coming off fake. Perfect subject. Very well done.

Nice capture. I think a bit more local contrast would make this jump a bit more, but it's a great subject and the composition is just right. Nice.

Nice composition and good idea. I think a wider dynamic range to show off more of the fading sun's colors as well as the depp, dark blue of the sky fading into night would really make this stand out. This is a beautiful, peaceful scene.
