Fantastic Robert! It shows great sense of depth from the clouds. People in there work well for scale. Wonderful work, as usual.

I really like the abstract nature of this one! At first I didn't think the dark area should be included at the top, but after examining it longer, I see that it's essential. Lovely!

The "glare" from the overexposed area, IMHO is exactly the same as the dark area. It will bother people who look at parts of the photo and analyze them, but not those who look at the whole and see how the whole is greater than the sum of the parts (gestalt).

This is excellent--I think you should have been ranked much higher.
