Just so you know, your comments indicating "without vote" are very irritating. I wish you would either not comment at all, or just vote your fair and objective opinion.

That sky is killer!

I like the BB shot too, but I think I'd have gone with this one, as well. Love how the snow is illuminated.

I don't feel too bad about my own FS performances when I see stunning scenes like this coming in with a sub-6.
