I wasn't a member during this challenge so I didn't vote. I believe it was this challenge that decided me on becoming a member because I love where I live and would have loved to have entered this one.

I like the various contrasts in this shot. First there is a thematic contrast between man built structures and natural structures, then there is the visual contrast of the peak of the building being constructed and the peaks of the mountains in the background. From this viewpoint the building looks larger than the mountains. Is this an intentional statement, I wonder, or just a happy accident. I love the inclusion of the Roman numerals, particularly the usage of "X" as a title. Let 'em figure it out or not.

What a stylistically drab monstrosity this is! Going duotone definitely appears to be a good move. Personally, i might have been tempted to have chopped out the extreme bottom portion of the shot (the large area of black is quite overbearing). However, that aside, i think this is a fine picture, and from the scenery in the background, it looks like you live in a great place. 8.

I am unsure that this one benefits from BW...

The pic is a bit too dark for me... Details are lost ... Can´t quite make out what the subject is also :)

Interesting composition. Image has good strong blacks and some nice crisp whites.

far too dark, maybe b/w was not the right choice?
