 The city of Westminster is the home of McDaniel College (formerly known as Western Maryland College). A valley separates the college from my home. Depending on the position of the Sun, it can be a very nice view.

This picture is a little to flat and greyish for me And its like two lines, nothing that stands out in the landscape But its a beautiful landscape anyway mabey a bit more of the city and less sky? Good luck

The sky isn't really interesting enough to take up so much of the frame. When you can, wait until the sky immediately above the steeple is interesting and crop the shot down farther. Just my opinion.

This shot originally scored very low for me when I first went through the shots. The negative space and the coloration just didn't appeal to me. After taking a second look and seeing the slight differation in colors and the muting, I do like it more but there is still too much sky to the landscape for my taste and for what I feel the challenge was asking for. The score will go up but only a couple of points.

It seems a bit overexposed and grainy. This seems like a nice vantage point to take a picture of the college.

seems a bit grainy, maybe adjusting the contrast would have helped a bit.

There is a lot of pixelation and graininess in the sky, which makes this beautiful landscape suffer!

Too much sky in this one, and the trees mask most of the architecture. But I guess that you have captured the feel of the place. I'd suggest a lower viewpoint and less sky.

In my opinion there is too much sky. I think I would have rather seen more if the town.

a bit grainy and hazy, nice view, just needs to be a bit clearer and sharper
