Nice mood.

Nice effect!
Brave move with your camera. Choosing between dust and moisture on your sensor!
I think that I will pass on this contest.

Would be improved with horizon straightened and brighter image. Interesting subject, but I don't see much of a gradient anywhere.

Please straighten the horizon. A must for sea shots, or is it just me?

My preference goes with the original photo with the fourth stacked, but I agree that three would have worked OK.

Unfortunately, I guess that this is the only way to keep the spires. Makes me dizzy.

Spectacular!

A vertical crop would leave all of the drama but delete a lot of the black spaces.
Very well done, requiring patience and timing.

Crooked horizons (unless obviously intentional) drive me nuts. Same with crooked hanging pictures. It's an easy fix. Otherwise, nice photo.

Don't agree. The subtle colors and the textures are interesting. It's not just another flower!

That's definitely not taken in my part of the world.

An ugly beast, but a lovely photo. Pastel colors contrast nicely with the dark fly.

The clarity of the horsefly and the yellow color of the flower makes this an exceptional entry, to my eye.
