Nice image, but gloom isn't a mood that I would get out of it.

Beautiful water. I actually find it nice to watch a storm approaching, but I won't judge you on your title. Nice picture.

The dark clouds are the ones that set the mood and there's not enough of them in the picture.

Beautiful but not fitting the challenge in my opinion. The coloring is fantastic!

Some things seem a bit out of focus, which can ruin a landscape shot like this

like the pic and the angle, wouldve loved to see someone standing on the end with their arms up in the air like they want to fly away

This is a lovely shot but the waters are just too pretty to be gloomy. I would have liked this anywere else but this challenge. Sad to say mine is the same way (lonely n blue) and getting scored so low for that. Personally I only score down a point or two for not fitting a category. Nice DOF, color, line, shapes, and textures. There is a lack of sharpness, mostly in the clouds.

nice leading line with the wall and use of thirds with the horizon

Sorry. Lovely picture, but... it's not gloomy.

Great picture but I don't think it shows enough "mood"...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

its starting to point towards gloom but imo is not yet there. This is a wonderful shot and has lots of potential. I would say that if you wanted this to be gloom then you will need a lot more dodge/burn and multiply layers.

Nice image, but it doesn't express gloomy to me! Moody, though.

Not the kind of "mood" I was looking for in this challenge, but nice landscape. The post processing is a little much for me.

i like this one a lot because it is one of the few in this challenge that is not a person. it definatly communicates a mood and definitly communicates a feeling of gloom, nice work (9)

Composition doesn't feel strong enough. It's a good attempt at leading lines with a well placed horizon and effective clouds but there's just no 'wow' here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

It might just be me, but I think to appropriately convey gloom you would have to push the processing here a bit more - perhaps convert to black and white, and do a bit of Heidering on that sky. I do like the composition though. 6

Beautiful photo - just not sure how it fits with the theme, so discounted points for that. Otherwise gorgeous! (7)

Very good shot, but doesn't meet the challenge well enough in my opinion.

Can feel the approaching gloom in this shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/02/2005 04:55:13 PM
not too gloomy here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the photo, just doesn't seem very gloomy to me, maybe because the water is a little green, still i hate the concept of titles anyways, so you get a good score from me

good landscape, not for this challenge
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Although I don̢۪t say this is a bad picture I have scored this low.
Low in my book is not extremely low, but I guess there will be other people thinking the same way I do who don̢۪t leave a comment.
Don̢۪t take this the wrong way, this is my own opinion, and I am trying to let you understand what some voters may think.

In my opinion this does not meet the challenge, the description of the challenge: Take a picture that captures an emotion.
I looked hard, but I don̢۪t see an emotion. This could be my fault, but that̢۪s the reason why I voted lower as I would normaly do.
