Damn. I did not expect to see this all the way back here...I gave you a 7, and I loved this because:

The architect is both man and god, and your photo is largely landscape with the very smallest house in the corner, and it spoke to me of a kind of insignificance, of a little house (oh, wow) as compared to this giant beautiful sky...it was very fitting. I love photos that can speak volumes to me. I thought maybe you could use this for your own purposes, maybe retitle it "The Architects" :)

I am by no means religious, but I do see the obviousness of man vs nature, and I think you really captured the, uh, "size difference" here. Man is such a lightweight!

So anyway, I obviously got into this photo and I'm really truly surprised others didn't!

Take care,
Katy

If the thing I'm looking at is indeed the house you're talking about, I can barely see it. It's an impressive shot, very dramatic, but I don't think it meets the challenge.

Great effect with the sky and the water & I love the lighting. Your horizon looks level. B&W works really well also but if I hadn't read the title, I probably would of missed the house at first glance. In another challenge this photograph would of scored really well but I think it is a bit of a stretch to put this in to a challenge for architecture. Good on you for thinking outside the square but it would of been better for the house to be clearer to view

A great shot. a little difficult to judge the architecture at this size though. Very little to it; a few pixels of light in the darkened horizon. The photo is VERY nice. Just a bit of a stretch of the imagination to call it architectural photography. 7 .

where? this is an architecture challenge. might have scored higher if you titled it as God's earth and sky? No manmade architecture believable without your title.

Great photo but the architecture I can see is mostly the nature itself.
01/22/2005 12:02:34 AM
Nice clouds, nice lighting of clouds, and nice reflection. However, the house is less than 60 pixels in this format which is insufficient for an architectural study. A 3.

You win the prize for the smallest piece of architecture, great sky.
01/21/2005 12:48:32 PM
Great shot of the clouds, but I would've like to have seen the house more of the focus point of the photo.

This is a beautiful image, but too much of a stretch for the challenge.
01/20/2005 09:18:25 PM
Naaah. You could just as well have said it was Julie Andrews on the horizon & entered it in Movie Titles as "My Fair Lady". Sorry. 4.

If ya gotta tell me it didn't do it on its own. Sorry this time.

Beautiful shot, but dose not fit the challenge.

Um... interesting twist on the theme! I actually giggled when I saw this because it's so vastly different from the others in this challenge. I'm afraid it might be a bit *too* free an interpretation of the challenge...

This is a great sky picture, but I wouldn't count it as architecture shown at this size. Maybe a large print would give a different impression.
01/17/2005 06:12:00 PM
This is a great image, though I can hardly spot the house?!
01/17/2005 03:29:01 PM
where's waldo was last week. Great shot but it dosen't suit the challenge. i hope you detailed how you did the conversion to B&W, it's lovely

Dramatic sky, nice contrast - but outside the envelope on architecture in my opinion.
01/17/2005 01:19:52 PM
Nice horizon, but the house seems to small to work for this challenge.
01/17/2005 12:58:34 PM
this is not a waldo-house challenge :) Otherwise, a nice photo
