Nice light on this. I love the dark sky in the background.

Very nice light here. I think your processing is spot on as well. It's very vivid, but completely natural. I also really like how the shadow line on the mitten is continued in the distant background. Congrats on getting a great shot in an often photographed area.

Very nice storm light Alex. The spotlight effect on the mitten really makes it stand out. The dark clouds above create some nice drama in the image. Well done.

I like this! Extremely bold, with bright colors, ominous sky, and dramatic landscape. The centered comp (or nearly so) is perfect. No nits from me...

The moody sky and spotlight on the mitten makes this one special. Nice one.

A great example for when centered compositions work. The mood is wonderul too.

The lighting and colors in this are superb! The glowing mitten against the brooding sky make for a dramatic image! Very nice work!

One of the best MV images I've seen in some time. I love the weather pattern and the understated colors of the monolith, which provide a sweet contrast.

Nice light condition. The dark sky is very moody.

Simple yet effective comp, and nice light on the mitten.
