This is an outstanding black and white image and the headstones in the foreground give a great sense of depth, just like Ansel used to do. :-) There's a bit of noise in the sky, but that's easy to deal with after the challenge. Very nice job!

Very lovely point of view. Tones are very nicely handled. Sky is a bit grainy, but who cares? 9

Returning for Comment: Superb shot and composition, but to me the burnout is a distraction. Perhaps if the sun was in the picture, for example, to offer a sunrise/sunset, it might just be emphasis, but being that it's just glare in the water, it doesn't work for me. In fact, the snow is lovely, but I could really see this being a winner if it were a winter beach sunrise! Or maybe putting someone out in the snow on a blanket, as that other picture did, might have been funny enough to make me ignore the burnout. Still better than avg shot = 6.

Gorgeous, abstract take on the challenge. I hope you aren't penalized for light vs. bright color. I believe it is well within the range of meeting the challenge. 9.
