I like the mood and atmosphere of it. Also the composition is very good. I'm not sure about the blue cast, though. I don't know if it was intentional or just the way it came out. Maybe try and keep the sky that color and then color-correct the rest ?

Apart from that it's good, even if it was from a "foriegn" camera (we'll let that one go just this one time :-))

Yeah the blue cast was intentional. I just didn't think the picture stood out with the orignal colors. I was imitating my polaroid camera which uses the time zero film and everything turns out with a blue cast and for some reason I love it. Thanks!

Looks very Polaroid-y. Cut the cerulean blue a bit. Nice composition.

I keep going back and forth whether I like the blue cast/ over saturation or not. You might want to try and crop out about half the sky. Looks kinda cool though.

I really like the composition, but I'm not crazy about the color cast.

I took the blue cast out myself...I like it. I also thought it was nice in a nice, rich mono.
