I really like how the front wheel is spinning (what looks like) really fast, but the back one is still. Nice effect

Cool... I like the way the completely black forms silhouette starkly against the soft, undulating grey sky. The atmosphere of the photo definitely supports your title. The overall scene is unwelcoming and bleak, and the branches on that tree look gnarled and hostile. Nice work!

Very moody. Sky looks almost rendered. All that's missing is a crow sitting on a branch!

This is an incredible shot, in my book. This an excellent bw. My only complaint are the antennas on the buildings, and they aren't your fault; they just affect your image. Good sky. Did you use NeatImage to smooth that up a little, or is this "original"? Either way, it's great, and it's one of only four tens for me in this challenge.

nice pic. i would like it better if the tree was by itself and not with the distracting buildings. the tree has an eerie feeling to it.

I like the tree and the cloud background works well with it. The buildings I could have easily lived w/o. 7 Swash

very nice black and white :) the sharp contrast here is excellent and you did a nice job of catching a good exposure in the sky to show the light/dark cloud detail... good work :) - setzler
