Jason, very nice snow scene. I'll bet this was a nice shot in color even with the cloudy skies.

Great colors! I wonder how it'd look cropped so that the upper right corner and right edge are all within the right-hand red leg? Maybe put the top just below the lighter-colored crosspiece? That way you'd have solid red framing the Space Needle.

Nice entry, Jayson! I didn't get back to comment on this in time, but it got an 8 from me. I kinda favor the grey snow because it makes this look like it's on an xmas card or in a picture book. I guess if you really really wanted to, you might have done some real soft dodging on the snow to bring out the contrasts within. Or possibly channel mixer might have teased something out. But really, the grey gives it a nice mood. I like the composition too! But you really ought not to keep your wife in a barn ;-)

Jason, I really like this shot and I'm surprised it didn't do a little better than it did. I was looking at this for a while trying to figure out what people didn't care for. After-all, the needle is very clear and nicely framed by the sculpture.

I'm just wondering if it's because the out-of-focus part is in the foreground and the in-focus part is in the background instead of the other way around. I think most shallow DOF shots are the opposite of what you have.

I don't know if that was it but it was just a thought.

By the way, I was up in that space needle in 1972 when I was stationed at PSNS for a while and I saw Led Zeppelin at the Seattle Center Coliseium (right near the space needle). At the time, it was called the Seattle Center.

still think your interpretation of low dof is more convincing than the winner's.
