What an interesting and memorable effect. I'm going to guess that you'd already scouted the location...?

Congratulations David, great image. You are braver than me using multiple exposures. I thought about it and didn't see where the rules didn't allow multiples, but didn't want to chance things.

Oh - I can't say a word about this one - absolutely stunning subject and conversion. This is just a terrific image. Well done.

The editing is too strong for my taste but it's a stunning view and the composition works

This picture draws me in ... I really want to follow the path toward the city in the distance, taking pictures of the stone sentinel on the hill along the way. The b/w definitely works here but I'd love to see what the colors were.

Great use of long exposure to create the smoothness in the sky to contrast the details and textures in the land...and that path...way cool

Gothic structure and streaming clouds make for a moody image. I especially like the view down to the valley where city lights show. Effective composition. 8
