dramatic vista for a photo - the low clouds, the sky, the church/ building on the hill, the moon above - all awesome components

Back to comment: Wonderful image. Nicely balanced composition and great depth. Love the way the light hits the building alone. I think you could have a bit of fun playing with the colour gradient in the sky too. The "V" is not the strongest aspect here but I think the moon works well as the "O". Nicely done.

Something about this strikes a chord with me. I think the scale is the key, I love the moon there to offset the little church (I'm sure it's little in real life). One of two 10's from me.

What? Ok, a rose. Roses have thorns - to protect them. I think you should have shown some thorns. Otherwise, excellent photo.

Back to comment: This image doesn't really fit the challenge topic very strongly. As for the image itself, the composition is a bit bland with the flower being dead center. This composition might have worked better if the lighting was more dramatic or if you could have pulled more contrast between the petals during post processing. The water drops are a nice touch, as they strengthen the composition as a focal point.
