I like how this is strikingly sharp yet unrevealing. The toning and negative space extend the drama. (not voting).

Wonderful image, but I'm not crazy about what you did with the pp'ing of where the sky meets the grass.

Greetings from the Critique Club

I suspect based on your comments that you were a little disappointed with the score as it fell below your hopes. I think you probably also know why this may have scored lower than you hoped.

In my personal opinion, I do think it is perhaps not minimal enough to succeed in this specific challenge. It's odd, but I think the wonderful detail in the sky pushes out of minimalist landscape zone. Maybe just my opinion, but I suppose a few others must have thought so too, or I feel you would surely have scored much much higher. This is a wonderful sunset shot and I am envious that you were able to capture it.

I haven't got any smart suggestions for you on how to make it better, it doesn't need making better :) It is certainly a very lovely image, but just falls short in the minimalist category.

Interesting idea to combine several different copies of the same image, processed differently, to come up with this fascinating end result.

Thank you for including your steps because it gives a whole new way of looking at a difficult exposure.
