Comment:
Composition: 3, Tilted horizon detracts from overall shot.
Technical: 4, Tone range could be expanded a bit. Middle greys are really dominant
Appeal: 5
Challenge: 5, Fits challenge
Overall Calculated Average Score: 4, If the "desaturation" method was used to make this b/w, there are better ways discussed on digital b/w websites.
