I like the serenity of the image, but the composition is disturbing me slightly - maybe a bit too much space to the left of the stack?:)

Very cool long exposure--the moving clouds look great! A little sharpening halo around some edges but no real issue to me.

Very beautiful and powerful B&W, but the sharpening is above the limit and the white dots are distracting

Lighting is superb. Sky feels active, it's moving, not just sitting around waiting to be photographed. I like it alot.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 5. If this were in any other challenge other than bokeh, I would have scored it at least a 7.

First of all, let me say that this is a beautiful portrait. I like the overall lightness to this photograph, and the focus is very sharp. I am a big fan of black & white portraits, as they allow the viewer to focus on the emotions of the photo, instead of all the little details. Her eyes are very beautiful. While I can see a little bokeh, it really isn't strong enough, or enhance the photo enough to warrant a high score in this challenge. All in all, lovely photograph.

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.
