Jun 1, 2015		     Mrsawyer - No vignette added, the sun was shining through the clouds once in awhile. There was thundershowers moving in. The B&W conversion accentuated the darker areas in the sky and foreground, will post colour version in outtakes.

Jun 1, 2015		     Well-presented! Did you add a vignette here? In my favs.

Jun 1, 2015		     Thanks for all the great comments everyone!

Neat, aKilter - I used vey mild sharpening on this, don't see the halo's you mention. First use of a new lens given to me, 17-50 sigma and must admit it is quite sharp.

Jun 1, 2015		     Nice contrasts, good sharpness, well composed. In my TT.

Jun 1, 2015		     Great use of B&W to bring out the detail. I find my attention drawn more to the tree and the clouds than to the building, but you're still high in my faves.

Jun 1, 2015		     did the tree lean first or was it the building.

Jun 1, 2015		     Great building and setting for the challenge. The dramatic sky and B&W processing are also very effective, although you might have overdone, at least a little bit, the white halo effect from the USM processing. You didn't overdo it enough to lose my first place vote, however.

Jun 1, 2015		     Beautiful photo in every way.
Zhaark
Jun 1, 2015		     Love your subject for this challenge.
Looks like it has been captured perfectly.
I do not like the dark circle around the image, it grabs my attention to much.

Jun 1, 2015		     Fantastic shot, love how it's leaning, trees are bit over sharpened though, my 3rd pick.

May 31, 2015		     Great subject and composition, but the clouds are a bit over-dramatic for my liking - unless they were real !
Elyod
May 31, 2015		     What a great find for the theme, I particularly like the way that the bark on the trees has been twisted by years of exposure to the winds. IMO, maybe a little less vignetting, or more lightening to remove the over-dark areas. In my TT

May 30, 2015		     Love it. Reminds me of "The Wizard Of Oz"... In my top 3.

May 30, 2015		     Awesome shot and pp, I really like it. I have a question, did you tilt the pic it at all? The trees seem to be out of plumb, just like the structure. Was the lean caused by the buffering from the winds?

Where I live, we also have the prevailing Westerly winds, and after a storm front comes through, it blows extra strong.

May 30, 2015		     Beautifully done. Right on theme. The trees look very "Comyn-like". This is meant to be a compliment. High in my favs.

May 29, 2015		     This is a fine composition and beautifully executed 'print'. My top favorite.
SteveBee
May 29, 2015		     Great image! A high fav.
Sarah
May 29, 2015		     Nice entry. I like how the lean of the building flows with that of the tree. Perhaps a little dark in the top left corner.
Franz07
May 29, 2015		     What a great finding! I love the parallelism with the trees.
Patty
May 29, 2015		     My favourite for the challenge. Love the sky and the eeriness of B&W. Well done.
