The black and white works excellent for this shot. It's very crisp and the focus is perfect. The title does help for those who don't see the subject. The offset of where you stood when you took this shot really adds to it. 10! - xertion

Great use of multiple leading lines here. The lighting is a bit strange, but it also appears to be around 5 or 6 o'clock which does inprove the shot. The title really helps for those who don't understand what the subject is. Overall great shot. 10! - xertion

In this shot, I see more than one leading line all pointing to the trees which is great for the challenge. The composition is also very excellent along with a very colorful vibrant shot. 10! - xertion

The Dock House

The slight gradient in the sky and the bright brown color of the building create some great colors for this shot. It's cropped perfectly and it's one of my favorites of the week. I'd buy it! 10! - xertion

I like this shot a lot for the cimple fact that you took a shot you knew other would do, railroad tracks, and made it your own. The tilt of the camera creates the same looks with a much more interesting effect. My eye is drawn to that vanishing point no matter where I look in the shot. The warm red/brown tint also adds to this shot.

Creative take on the challenge. There is always a way to squeeze a flower into every challenge, and this time you managed to do it. Crisp focus and very soothing bright blue sky. Great shot...9! - xertion

The positioning and choice of this subject are great. The dark colors along with the burnt orange rust color against the snow, it all adds up to be a very good choice for this weeks challenge... 10! - xertion

The perspective is very intriguing in this shot. The odd choice of sunlight does take a little away from this shot. Waiting might have proved to show better results. A few orange and white things in the shot are distracting, but it's a great shot indeed! - xertion

Silo

It's a very crisp shor, which I like, and the interesting perspective makes this silo appaer a lot taller than in a more normal boring shot. Great colors from the sky. - xertion
