Love the sky, just not that keen on the rest of the shot but still enough for a 7 from me. In particular, I dislike the "taken from within a house" look, I think I would have preferred this if you simply had stepped out of that doorway and taken the shot there... No offense intended of course, it´s just what immediately popped into my head when I saw this shot.

Wonderful clouds, but the natural colored tumbleweeds would have been better to me.

Great shot, like how dramatic the sky is. Good composition too.

Quite a nice, and slightly different infrared shot.. Usually people try and get as much foliage in a shot as possible without really worrying too much about composition or content, but you've done a nice job making this very "industrial gothic". Nice job.

I remember this. Still love its poignant sadness. Love the silvery tones of the metal and sky. It's interesting. The lines and angles of the window, door opening and the fallen down metal structure are softened by the bloowy clouds and waving grasses. Very nice indeed. Different from the usual landscape. 9

This is wonderful. The feeling of desolation and isolation are very substantial. Is this infrared? I like that it doesn't shout it (to me, that is, a relative newbie), but still finds those beautiful tones.

Completely lovely...the way the light touches those doorways are amazing...a beautiful image for sure.
