A beautiful image but I am intrigued by the spots in the sky that look almost like sun flares. I do hope you will provide some information as to the type of mine this is. Good luck to you with the challenge.

Very nice shot and fits the theme. got some unwanted ghost effects in this and a bit of bother but still a nice industrial shot. Like the tracks in the foreground and this could maybe have been used with greater effect in the compo to lead the eyes to the scene, - lower angle closer to the tracks etc. Just a thought. Nice wotk with star bursts in the lights.

Nice starbursts and great processing. Fully expect to see this in top 10.

I like this shot. The B&W processing is well done and the black sky adds to the depth. It is nicely contrasted by the white door. The overall composition provides interest and the image takes advantage of the power of diagonal lines to provide dynamics. I think you did well on this one. The only downside I see is it seems the most in-focus portion is the column on the left rather than the church itself.

Comment by DrAchoo:
IIRC you use your own hommade macro so I won't comment on the technicals of the shot, but I will give you the advice to think of your insect as a model. We almost always want to see the model's face and especially their eyes. Sometimes that rule can be broken, but not too often. So while we get some detail here of an interesting fly, we wish it were turned towards us.
