 this image was shot from my car while I was driving (in slow traffic) I just really liked how this building looked with this sky. I had to rotate the image some and doing so I lost some of the bottom part of the image.

I just adjusted the brightness and contrast, plus a little sharpening, no other edits.

In a sea of photographs of tall buildings against the sky, this one is exceptional, and deserves a far higher rate than 5.8. Trust me!

You needed a better name than "Silver Lining," or no name (shucks none comes to me). Excellent though. Wonderful, that perfect reflection of blue that runs down the thin strip of the building. The blunt wedge of the building has a strong abstract appeal to my eye too. Maybe, had I been so alert as to take this photograph, Id call it "Razor."

The reflection of the clouds on the building is great

Very cool effect here! I can't wait to see how much PS you had to do to achieve this.

Excellent composition! Somehow the contrast seems a little low. 8

Great clarity and colors! I like the idea but I think I would've liked to see more of the building. Not sure why, but it seems oddly cropped. Good picture!

The reflections of the clouds on the building make this photo sing. Love it and am giving you a 10 for a wonderful creation.

Very interesting image. Seems like it would look better by brightening it up in Levels; seems a bit dark. Still a very nice shot. Jacko. 8

If this were a bit sharper I think it would help.

Cool. Did you convert the one face to black and white?

Most unusual and unique sky. I love this shot and think it will do well in the challenge. This will make a good print.

A bit under-exposed. You might try to increase the stop by half or more
