So rollover is in an hour, and I still have no idea how to vote this image. I have long since voted on all others and just can't decide for this one.
I am just torn because I think it is a beautifully taken photograph, but for me it is DNMC. While there are aspects that reside in the corner, the main point of interest clearly is not. Very torn on what kind of score I should give. Do I reward the merits of the photograph, even if part of the reason this photograph is so good is because it follows general composition rules rather than staying in the corners? I just don't know

Congrats! This is such a fabulous image and absolutely deserves the blue.
I am mystified how you managed to have the cockpit and the earth in such crisp focus with an aperture of 5! Care to share?

I was your one 10 and I can't believe how underappreciated this is!
I gave it an 8 on first go around but then kept coming back to admire it again and again, unlike any of the other images in this challenge, and bumped my score.
Wonderful job

My score for this went up by 2 when I realized just how close you must have been standing to the train. Adrenaline is right! Great shot

Its rare indeed that my top scored image is also the top scoring image in the challenge as a whole. I am glad that this time that is the case, because this image is marvelous and deserves it. Congrats!

Clearing Storm, Late Spring, Yosemite Valley

This is too over processed to me. As one who frequently spends summers in yosemite and frequently enjoys this view, I think a lighter hand would have done it more justice.
I do admire the dramatic clouds, and it is nevertheless a nice picture. 7
