Awesome shot, the buildings do give a great sense of scale and the red building adds great colour to the shot

As per your feedback request ....
The tight crop bothers me a little, I'm not sure the sepia conversion really adds anything to the photo (for me) a larger tonal range seems to be better.
Maybe a wider angle with some trees may have helped.
I guess sepia should have a softer feel to it but personally I like this a little better with approx 50% @ 1px USM applied.
I didn't vote in this challenge but if I had I'd be giving you a 6.

Makes a really cool abstract, I think you went with the right choice for the FS though!

I like this but you certainly went with the right choice for the free study! I remember this Sunday very well, I had to drive 150 miles towing a car on a trailer at 7am through the fresh snow ... not a fun journey!

I really like the composition of this shot, makes it much more interesting than just the mountains ... the lighting on the person is fantastic and really makes him stand out but IMHO the background is too dark and loses the detail, maybe hdr would have helped
