"Ominous Sky" is a nice addition into the 2- Second challenge. It was nice to see a different idea and concept for the challenge.

The image itself grabs the viewers attention, it has to with such an enormous sky. I would have the same opinion as many of the voters have listed, this is an excellent shot but the garage takes away from the score. I think the lighting on the garage just grabs your eye an takes you away from the sky. The lighting on the house itself is great and is very different from the usual. The lighting overall is just interesting, did you happen to have a car parked out there with the headlights on? The angle from the shadows cast by the trees would make think so. The composition is nice, I love how you were able to capture the sky. This was a great shot and I think you had a wonderful idea. I can't wait to see your future challenges.

I like this scene. I do wish the front of the garage weren't standing out so brightly, though.

Nice dramatic sky. I wish you could have turned off the light on the driveway and garage door.

The title says the sky is the subject, but my eye is drawn to the garage door and gable.

Everything is great but the subject of the house. Distracting negative space on the garage. Nice sky though.

Great Sky, but the driveway and garage is too bright, making the picture a bit unbalanced.Nevertheless a very photo.

Nice shot. It definitely is ominous looking. I like the lighting on the house.
