I like the mood of this picture. You should have converted it to B & W to get rid of the colored grainyness.

Very pixilated/grainy.

Nice idea but not quite in focus, and the moon is a bit overexposed.

To me, the point of view in this photo isn't literal but more in the conveyance of the mood- the softness and the grain is very effective, but I might have converted to grayscale before submitting- the multicolored noise is distracting to me from the overall feel. 6.

I would have expected all the local populace who visited this building to have had a similar point of view to this one. However, as a photo, I love it.

You got some blur on this shot. Need a tripod or a more steady tripod.

Very nice shot. The grain really accentuates the haze and gives this a fantasy look. I'm not sure about the hill on the left. Seems too clear to be part of the picture.

Beautiful shot. Very moody, dark, and different.

This is a really nice shot. The composition is very good, using the rule of thirds well. I really like the almost black and white feel, with the burst of orange flames in the corner. The fire definatly adds a little something. I don't know if it would look better without the elements in the bottom, as justine suggested in her comment. I think it would be worth trying tho, as it would make the person seem more isolated and give more effect to the negative space. I think the main reason that you didn't get a higher score is that the action isn't as blatently obvious as some of the other entries. If you use a higher f-number you could have left the shutter open for longer and perhaps got some motion blur on the axe which might have helped.

In post processing I feel that you did a very good job, but a little USM wouldn't have gone a-miss.

Overall, a very nice photo, but not quite right for this particular challenge I feel.

I realize that's snown, but the photograph appears grainy or color balance is off. Nice composition.
