Breath-takingly glorious! Fabulous scene and fabulous capture. I love the indigo blues of the sky and the way the dusting of stars sparkle out. Would not be surprised to see this in the top ten... good luck! :)

Sawed off ( antique) firepower

Well, here's my two cents. :)
I know from experience how impossibly difficult it is to take a picture of a gun and get an interesting composition. Perhaps standing it on end, and shooting it from an angle would have made this shot much more interesting. Try experimenting with different angles. Also, the image has a sort of blue-ish cast...some adjustments with Selective color might help that out a bit if you wanted to fix it. And finally, the image is a little grainy. If it's possible to set the ISO on your camera lower, that would help. Hope that's all helpful! Keep trying! :)

Clever and well executed - the focus is perfect! It could perhaps use a little bit of a levels adjustment, to make the background whiter...just a thought. Good photo, and neat take on the challenge!

Very interesting effect - I like the way the silvery gray colors contrast so vibrantly with the glowing orange.

You will fall into line, Junior!

The high-contrast and low lighting do create a powerful effect, but otherwise, I'm not entirely sure if this really fits the challenge all that well... just my opinion. :) Very cool image though!

The patches of color underneath the misty water is absolutely mesmerizing. Exquisitely beautiful! :)

Neat image! I love the tones and textures, and the lighting, although very neat... feels almost unbalanced. The left side of the image immediately starts out being bright, and then fades into dark. If there had been anyway to make it go from a little bit of dark, to light, and then dark again, that might have looked nicer. But I apologize, I'm being really picky! :) This is an excellent shot, and perhaps there was no way for you to be able to do that.

you're mine!!

I'm not really sure how this meets the challenge...I would suggest tring to change the lighting. The skin tones are very gray and flat looking... but perhaps it was very difficult to get nice lighting where you were at. Good try though - the focus is good, and the composition fine!

I'm sorry... I really don't know what this is... and it doesn't portray a feeling of power to me.
