I wish the horizon were straight... I really like the image. I can feel the cold and the shades of blue are pleasing.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Initial impression: Menacing b/w of the hills and sky behind, which only seems to play up the lack of similar varied tones in the Phantom. Had to look for the blade.

Technical: Great light, good use of thirds, nice dof...though a 30-second exposure seems a little long! I think that a lesser exposure, esp with the phantom in the pic, would have resulted in a more multi-tonal and powerful image.

Aristic: Frankly I thought Phantom looked cut-and-paste and posed. However you placed in the top 20 in this challenge, so can't argue with that :-)

Overall: Great concept, I just feel execution could have been a little stronger to make the phantom more menacing. good work!

Feel free to PM me with any questions,
