Well done John, didn't quite get my vote but was a close second.My vote went to Chimneys in the sky - an unusual take on the theme and I liked thee angle it was taken at. Tha can also count as my 'up' comment, as it was above my entry. My 'down' comment is for the image moon. A nice minimalist image, worked will just not as strong an entry as some of the others this time. Mine was a blag really, I couldn't get a decent sky pic to blagged my beach hut with a little blue sky in it but not really on theme. Will try for a better shot for the next challenge.

UP-LAST OF THE SUMMER SKY'S-DigiDiva
Like the lines of the decking and also the roofs going off into the distance,thought that the blue of the sky really set off the colours of the yellow and green doors.
A really nice photograph.

My "down" was Arthurs shot. Perfectly good photograph reflects the difficulty I think we all had finding a suitably dramatic sky. Clive you're a professional - and it shows - almost presumptuous for me to comment. But you did find a way to exploit an ordinary blue sky as did DigiDiva and the image is very well framed.

my up, marydoll, wonderful sky,,nice scene ...it was a hard comp this fortnight.
my down was, Arthur, another fine shot.just didn't stand out for me.
my vote went to John&me for the beautiful colours in sky on fire.

my own image was out of desperation to put something up for the comp,just trying to think outside the square, no great skies here at the time of the comp....hope I can come up with better for the next comp.

A fun competition this one, it was relaxing (for a change) to have a subject that you can get anywhere ...ish. 'Down' from me is the maestro, John with a fine shot. I know you took quite a few shots of this show stopping sunset and this was a worthy choice and I can't offer any criticism.

As the first entry of this comp, I roll over to the last entry for my 'up' critique which is MadOldie's 'Moon'. I did like the lateral thought you put into it, I think everybody else went for clouds so you stand unique. But being critical, I must say that the noise in the shot is too high. To be really effective, a choice would have to be made to provide crystal clarity to either the trees or the moon (I would pick moon) and that's tricky to do. Long exposure using a tripod. But I did like the placement/cropping.
