Taken, after dark, as I was going through an ATM on Leestown Road in Lexington, Ky. LOW flash, focal length 14.4 MM. Cropped to 10 X 20 inches. Auto levels in PS Elements 2. Sized image to 600 on long edge. Sized canvas to 640 on long edge to create a white border. Mode changed to grayscale. Sharpened with sharpen filter. I know image is hot up front to but it is meant to help accentuate the starkness of winter.

I'm not sure what happened here.. the image quality is fairly poor. The 'without the hand of man' concept in this shot may have been damaged by the camera flash... - setzler
Well, it's low res and it seems like you used the flash, but I like the composition around these two trees. It has a kind of ghostly charm that works for me! You did well with what must be some limited equipment. Worth a highish score.
This looks really pixeled to me for some reason. The use of black and white is a good choice, and I like the angle and framing/cropping you have chosen, with the trees off to the right side. It just looks really square, with those "jaggies" (I think that's what they are called) Good luck in the challenge.
An interesting shot/composition... but it looks like something funky happened in the processing. Perhaps it was oversharpened, or despecled a little too much for my tastes.
Would be a perfect 10 if you could have isolated the light to just the trees with a soild background. The grass makes for some distration in the lower left of the frame.
