Taken along Route 7 between Bennington and Manchester Vermont on a rainy, foggy, Saturday morning. On the way home fro Mother Myrick's Bakery (gooood stuff!) The fog was thick and the wind and rain were blowing all around but saw this and stopped to take the shot. It was only a few days later after processing that I decided to enter into the challenge.

I loved this shot. I gave it a 10, but I am afraid many dcp members don't go for the arsty stuff. Anyhow, I think it is really beautiful.

This one stopped me for a while. Has a beautiful mood, lovely colour palette, what looks like subtle processing but doesn't look much of anything like a photograph or photographic, any more.

It really evokes the feel of a marshland or dead/wasted trees near a lake, but raises it beyond that to not be any particular place but something more fundamental.

So I don't quite know how to vote, to be honest. Its a lovely, beautiful image. It reminds me of the area I grew up and is something I'd probably even hang on the wall if I'd taken it myself. But it doesn't meet the 'keep your pictures photographic' rule.

this is very pretty, which I suppose isn't the best thing for a "Harsh" challenge, but I can also see how this would be a harsh environment, and I like pretty things. 8

Well sorry but whatever you did to this image, it doesn´t appeal to me, gave it a 4. Just the lack of detail and sharpness and a strong focus point mainly.

Lovely.
Great idea and some brave PP that really gives it an edge.

INCREDIBLE composition on this one. But I'm DYING for just a slightly tighter crop on the right side...I find the lines on the right side distracting... I have to give this one a 9 for its overall strength, but if I didn't find my eyes drawn disproportionately to the right, I think this could easily be my favorite in the challenge so far.

I like the layers, the colors, and the mistiness.

Some focus would help a little here, to give a feel of the meaning to your title.IMO
