Looks like a stormy day. The darkness and the clouds accentuate the abandoned feel of the photo. Kind of like in the movies. Ever notice that no one never finds a haunted house in bright clear weather? I like the blurring of the waves. I assume that's the 3 stop ND and CPL. Pardon my ignorance but what does that mean?

I love this shot, the sky, the textures and the perspective. Where is this?

Great texture in this dramatic shot. The sky and the rock wall in the foreground really brings this shot to life. NOt sure about the frame though - it tends to soften the shot instead of adding to its natural rugged-ness.

wow, where is this place?
i LOVE the darkness here of course! very well done and great b&w conversion.
that blownout part in the sky is a little distracting though, but doesn't really take away from the overall intense comp of this shot.

Very bold and vibrant! While I suspect this is a great shot in color, I really like the choice to make it monochrome - somehow I think that makes it all the more "colorful" in a way.

I like the dark feel of this and the strong leading line of the wall in the foreground. A busy picture but not cluttered, if that makes sense. Very nice use of contrast, though I'd disagree with the "not a lot of editing" part - to me, not a lot of editing means levels, sharpen, resize, post to web. I would suspect my attempt at this and yours would look very different because of your skill with dodging and burning. Nice work.

Well, I like it. I love the B&W conversion. Composition is very good - love all the lines & perspective. And the sky looks great.

The mountains in the background are awesome with the light poles in the front leading your eyes all the way through the photo. Great photo!
