intense shot with great colors but 1) your lens needs cleaning (or you have to clone out those smudges) (2) tilts generally bomb unless they add something to the photo, here, I think this image would be much stronger w/o the tilt, (3) the lens flare will usually detract from a shot :/, (4) those snowed-over cannons or whatever they are sort of just ambiguous elements to the composition and I think just seem a little strange b/c you don't know what they are. Not trying to totally knock your shot just saying that it has so much going for it I thought maybe these things i mentioned would have helped it score better, though it did NOT deserve a 4! good luck on the site
