Well this is hardly what I would call an harsh environment but I am from Iceland so I won´t deduct points for that :)

I do like this shot, I like the colors and tones in it. Two things though that stopped me voting higher than a 7 (wich is good for me, I am picky) and that is the house to the left being half cut off like that, just draws attention from the big house and also the shrubs at the bottom of the frame also draw too much attention. I would have opted for a wider lens and gotten closer over those shrubs or some other way to eliminate them.

I like the look of the image, the strong contrast and clarity and think it´s above average so I voted a 6. I do find it a bit busy though and nothing specific draws my attention, also I would have removed that blue sign to the left as it is the only blue in the shot, it just steals attention.

I have a hard time saying anything about this shot as I find it neither good or bad. I like the light coming through the trees, I would have voted higher if it had stronger contrast. 5 from me.

I have a hard time saying anything about this shot as I find it neither good or bad. Usually I like grain in black and white photos but here I think I would have liked it better if it were crispy clean and sharp. Also I don´t really find anything interesting in the frame to stop and gawk at. 5 from me.

I have a hard time saying anything about this shot as I find it neither good or bad, just something about the lighting and DOF that just doesn´t appeal to me. Some burning on the hand and an visible but still out of focus head/face would have scored higher with me and it also bothers me a bit that the tip of the gun is so prominent in the composition and yet out of focus. 5 from me.

Sorry but I voted this a 4, mainly cause the subject matter isn´t interesting to me, the flare from the moon and the composition doesn´t do anything interesting for the subject.
