how fun! i think, though, as a challenge entry, the composition is what is holding the score down. as a centered subject, it is too deep in the image. also, there's not quite enough contrast between the subject and the white house behind it. this is a nice bw, and i hope it doesn't get lost in the shuffle of this huge challenge. good luck!

i imagine that there is a beautiful image in here, somewhere, but it is too dark for me to really appreciate it. but, remember, that's just my opinion. you do have a nice image.

this view looks like it is full of potential, with the colors in the foreground, and the way the clouds and light can play across the background. what you need, though is a strong subject. by centering the windmill, you have made it the subject here, but it is too far away, and most of its detail blends in with the background. if you have access to this type of vista on a regular basis, you are in heaven! all you really need to do is work on composition, and you will be turning out some amazing work! good luck!

what an interesting image. although, i'd have to say it really could use a subject. the way you have processed this, that open area is just begging for there to be something or somebody in it. i hope this does well for you, and that it doesn't get lost in the shuffle of this huge challenge! good luck!

how sweet is this! i really hope this doesn't get lost in the shuffle, and that it gets the attention it deserves. what an incredible capture. and now, as i have nothing further to add, i'm just going to sit back and enjoy it for a moment, if you don't mind. good luck in this and the challenges yet to come!

Shasta Mountain 2

what a beautiful image. however, as a challenge entry, i think it will probably be considered more of a pretty picture that documents your view of the mountain, as opposed to one that arrests the viewers visually. i hope this is not being overlooked in this monster-sized challenge, and that you are getting some good comments and suggestions. if not, please don't take it personally; maybe just consider it a starting point for the rest of the year. good luck in this and the challenges to come!
