I want to really like this, because it is well shot and well processed, but it's such a non sequitur as I move across the frame that I wish (not knowing what else is around) that you'd either moved left and rotated to cut the city out or moved forward and got rid of the rock that dwarfed the world. Just doesn't work for me as is.

Came back to look again. Bumping.

Lighting is really good here, but the lopsided composition just doesn't work for me. Shift it left and you're in my top 3. As is, 6.

I love this, I just hate that it's so small on my screen in this crop. If only you could have found a rectangle to shoot thru.

I think with more careful treatment this could have been outstanding but the heavy noise in the clouds/smoke(?) added by cranking structure and clarity just distracts, while the bottom could use some lightening of the shadows. 6 that could have been 2 or 3 points higher.

You found this on the streets of Chicago?! ;) This was 1b for me so I'm not surprised to see it with a ribbon. Really stood out among the rest. Well deserved, Mark. Congrats!!

Even if I could have voted on it I wouldn't have pushed you far enough to catch the Blue. Great photo. Well done, Mark. Congrats on back to back Reds.

Clearly, now, I knew this was going to ribbon as soon as I saw it. Well deserved Blue. One of the standouts for me.
