I thought this was a great contrast of light and dark with a very interesting background color.

Great colors in this pic. To me, conveys a sence of 'power'.

Hreint út sagt alger snilld. Ef ég kannast við, þá er þetta Kópavogskirkja, sem er ein af fallegri byggingum á Ãslandi. Flott stemmingsmynd.

Very nice shot! What filter was used?

This is a powerful image. I love everything about it - the color of the sky, the arches of the builiding. Super job.

I am wondering if you handheld this? There is a blur to this and I don't find it appealing...though I tend to like really crisp photos.

Wonderful use of the blue tones and the silloutte at the bottom. Excellent.

Not really what I would consider "urban" (urban=city in my opinion), but this is an excellent photo. I love the blues and the whites. Shapes are interesting too. Even though I don't consider this urban, I'm still going to give it a decent score just because it is a building and it is such a wonderful capture. Good luck.

The colours and the unique building make this shot. It almost feels abstract due to the black foreground. It has nice symetry to it, but I would have cropped off more on the left to really balance it.

The beauty of the blue hue in the sky frames this shot perfectly. The lighting that you captured is amazing. The contrast brings out the great shadow and shows us the incredible shapes in the church. Wow. "10"

wow, that sky looks amazing

Beautiful. Slightly soft focus, but I'm fine with that.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Striking shapes and colour. A bit non-urban but it's good. Lights are overexposed and contrast is somewhat harsh too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The dark and deep blue background makes the stark white color of the church stand out. The jet black foreground at the bottom of the frame works good here.

Nice, but too heavy retouching of the sky
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice colour contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice church, almost looks like a mirror image, if the clouds weren't different I would wonder, LOL! As for meeting the challange, it doesn't convey a sense of urban to me, as for the picture itself, the church seems a bit out of focus and the sky is so forbidding and the top of the church almost gets lost in it.

Flott mynd, gaman að sjá himininn svona súrrealiskt bláan. Notaði Kópavogskirkju sjálfur í "Fill the frame" fyrir einhverjum mánuðum.

though in my opinion it doesn' t quite fit the "urban" theme perfectly, it's a very beautiful photo.

Nice Colors and strong, Go Iceland?

Awesome sky. Truly awesome. Did that require a lot of photoshop tuning or is that the way it looked?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

For me the whites are too hot. But I like the contrast and the color of the sky.
