This is a pic taken from a train with a dirty window pane. The pic has been adjusted for levels, curves, USM and color balance. This has also been cropped and rotated to straighten it

I think the placement of the buildings and the mountain line is a great compositional move; I also think that the "dirty" window filter works. I do however, think that a distraction is the horizontal wires. This has such a great composition and feel that you might want to try photoshopping out the wires.
Again, really nice shot!
At first glance, I kind-of like this image. It has a strong daguerreotype feeling to it.
Compositionally, its okay. The tower's slant is bothering me a little and messing up the flow of the photograph.
The exposure is obviously underexposed, but with the title I can see that is what you were going for (which doesn't make it a good or bad thing, it's what the artist is offering, if others "get it" or not it doesn't matter).
I think the voters were a little thrown by the unconventional display here. I think some of them were looking for "dirt" in the literal sense.
Overall, good job -- the feeling here was conveyed successfully (to me).
The pole on the left and the power lines make this look tilted. The lines may have to be in the photo, but the pole could have been cropped out. It's not a really good composition, though -- too cluttered. I don't care for the lighting. That could be personal opinion. Your sky does have a look that matches the title.
Dirt Filter! I've been wanting one for Christmas! (like a polarizer, except it gives this effect)
Except for the vehicles, this looks like a pic taken in a coal mining town in the 1930's. Gritty looking place with the subdued light.
I'm not sure how this effect was achieved, but it doesn't add to the quality of the image, IMHO. The shot is severely underexposed, and the colors are very odd. Sorry!
