Nice choice with the sepia. Really brings home nostalgia. This sorta reminds me of a place in Queenstown, NZ...

You mean 10 mimosa ;)
Nice shot- what really makes this is the choice of the background with the subject. The two mix very pleasingly.

I see you ended up going with number 4. I agree with your choice. Great photo, I loved all of the ones you put up; excellent BW.

This was actually almost exactly one of my alternate ideas... except I was going to use the Raven Pro, not ultra. Nicely Executed.

Tough Day At The Office

Great capture of the "rat race" and "concrete jungle." To me, the best parts about this are the way the sun is shining in, and seeming so far off and elevated above the ground and the sheer size of the buildings and how well they show how miniscule the individual is. The strong contrast and texture on the bricks is nice too.

High Rise Mailroom

I thought I had commented on this when it was in the challenge, honestly. The stark contrast of the red and the black are what really sell this photo to me. This would be an interesting room in its own right, without the red mailboxes, but that's the element that really sets it apart. I like that you included enough of the wall for us to see it curve around. I also think this might have been pretty neat as a vertically oriented shot, with the bottom of the frame parallel and nearly resting upon the wall so that the mailboxes trailed away "upwards" as it might seem. Sorta reminiscent of 2001 when he's doing his running exercise in the rotating chamber. Great shot either way.

A Sea of Clouds

Exposure compensation should have been set down a few steps to keep the snow/clouds from blowing out on this. Also, for future reference, these types of shots make for great HDR and B/W potential.

Great portrait- the way you've captured things meshes perfectly with what I think would be fitting for this subject.

City and County Building

Ha, I knew I recognized that building when it first popped up. I'm assuming this is tonemapped/topazzed/HDR of some sort, and you've done a good job with things except it's a bit brighter on the center pillars, I'd dodge that a bit to even it out and then brighten all of it, and center things because that slight tilt sorta bugs me.

Towards the Light

Very nicely lit floral photo. It doesn't separate itself out from the rest of the FS photos particularly, but you've surely done a great job with the flower.
