I like it a lot, it's a post-apocalyptic shot.
Keep on experimenting.

[David Eckels]

Cheer up!

I know it's dark, probably too dark in fact, but that was part of the experimentation. And thanks for your concern about my attitude

Keep on experimenting.

Thanks Francois, I will.

Thanks for the comment Jonathan. I tend to agree, looking at it today. I'll have to keep experimenting, but it is good to know that there's something good in there, too.

I agree Michael, that upper third was a struggle for some reason.

All, thanks for the comments; I appreciate the objectivity.

Michael, good point, I may re-visit this.
Peter, thank you. It appears that this elicits strong preferences. Still learning!

I had another go at this mindful of Michael's and other's comments. Alas, I have not yet cheered up!

this make perfect "sense" to me.

I like both to tell you the truth but the last one is more focused (without the clouds in the sky).
Also, both are very complex to apprehend, at least for me (take it as a positive remark).
