The use of undersaturated color to almost monotone levels to convey an impression of oncoming dark is extremely effective and properly presents the concept expressed by the title. Rich in detail with no technical issues, this is a perfect demonstration of title, image and presentation coming together to create the perfect image. Should place very high in the challenge.

the tones really caught me from first glance and the clouds look like dark scars in the sky. i really like how the additional lighting on the house makes it seem even gloomier

Very good job on the tonemapping; where I'd expect to see halos there are none. I would love to see more of this house during the side challenge, it looks like it made for HDR.

a richer green would have greatly enhanced this picture--imho.

I like the DOF in this! Detail is perfect, feel like I'm peeking over the railing! Very nicely done!!

Abstract in concept, but impressionist in effect, this is another amazing image of a common, everyday flower. The monotone effect is very effective and gives an impression more artistic than photographic. A very worthy entry into the challenge and one that should rate fairly high if not a ribbon winner. Well done.
