Hmmm, don't know why "nice stuff" only earns you a 6.... people are a little unenthusiastic with their grading sometimes.

Anyway, this picture is definately effective in black and white... i really like the effect of the sun shining through the fence, but you are right, the colour does have more impact.

I like the contrast between the big dome and the sunset in the background!

The contradiction of icy environment on left and warm feeling on right is great. I also like tones on left, but somehow tones are missing on right.

i really like the lighting here and textures too...composition lacks a little to me though, did you try any different angles..just a little centered imo..7 though for technically really good shot.

I love the left half of this photo. And the way you have composed this, you can almost see the light rays shooting across the image. Nice.

Great tonal range and very detailed focus. And great layout/cropping. Should be first or second in this massive bunch of entries.

Cool angle to see the sunset and the frozen dome, but also the inclusion of it seems kindof random. Sunset looks cool.

Lots happening here that I like. Texture on the dome, fence shadow in the snow/sand (?), interesting sky.

Great shot. The sky is really captivating and there's great detail in the dome. One of my favourites so far.
