Greetings from your own critique club. As always, the comments are based on my personal opinion about the picture.

First Impression:
Very Nice Silhouette shot.
Composition:
Good composition. The picture is tilted. I don't know if that was on purpose. I would have rotated the photo.
Subject:
I really like the subject, Silhouette effect. But I don't know if it fits the challenge.
Technical (Colour and light):
The lighting is good. The sky color is different, don't know if it's processed. I would have liked orange/yellow evening color beter in the BG.
Improvement:
Rotate the picture, different BG color.
Summary:
Nice picture over all. Rotate the picture, and see if you can do the different color balance.

Edit to add:

The horizon is fine, it's not tilted. Looking at the first site it looked like that, but it's not. My bad.

Not sure about the cropping. I actually saved this picture and tried crop myself. I definately think the cropped one is looking better.

I really like the subject. Nice expressions.
Technical (Colour and light):
The color and lighting is perfect.

Tighter crop.

First Impression
Nice shot.
Composition:
Very good composition.
Subject:
I think Orage and dark blue are Complementary colors. That may be one os the reason for not getting higher score.
Technical (Colour and light):
Lighting is little bit harse on the orange.
Improvement:
Soft lighting on the orange, What's that on the right bottom corner? It's bit distracting
Summary:
The colors are not complementary, IMO. I scored it 6.

First Impression
WOW.
Composition:
Very good composition. I would have like little tighter crop on this.
Subject:
I really like the subject. Nice take on the challenge.
Technical (Colour and light):
The color and lighting is perfect. PP is good except the could part. It looks like too much NI, flat. Almost loos like part of the window and not the BG.
Improvement:
Tighter crop, different PP for the cloud part.
Summary:
Nice picture over all. I did not vote in this challenge, but would have scores this 8.

Congrates on your Personal Best.

Nice shot, but be bit artsy for some crowd on DPC.
Composition:
Very good composition. Nice tight crop.
Subject:
As I said it may be little bit artsy for some DPCers, I am affraid I am one of them.
Technical (Colour and light):
The color and lighting is perfect. It's too much overprocessed for my taste.
Improvement:
In order to score high on DPC, majority of the crowd need to be pleased. I have a feeling that it scored bit low due that fact.
Summary:
Meets the challenge criteria, but I did not like the PP.

Congrates on your Personal Best.

Very Nice shot, has the WOW factor.
Composition:
Very good composition. Just wondering if it's little bit tilted.
Subject:
I really like the subject. Definately meets the challenge.
Technical (Colour and light):
Veri nice colors and ligting. If I am not wrong you used Dodging and Burning in PP. Works for me, nice.
Improvement:
The picture needs to rotated little bit. Just wondering if it was possible for you to take this from different angle, may be moving further to the right side.
Summary:
Very nice image, good PP. Meet the Challenge, has some WOW factor for me.

Over all very nice image. Congrates on your Personal Best.

Very Nice shot.
Composition:
Very good composition.
Subject:
I really like the subject. Nice take on the challenge.
Technical (Colour and light):
The color and lighting in the front is perfect, but needs to be bumped little bit in the backgroud.
Improvement:
Color saturation in the background, contrast and lighting. Some voters on DPC are very strict about meeting the challenge. Tha challenge said Window like a building window, just wondering that may be the this didn't finish higher.
Summary:
Little bit more PP, try to please majority of voters by meeting the challenge criteria.

Over all very nice image. Congrates on your Personal Best.

Margie, Greetings from your own Critique Club.

Here is what I like about the image.

- Nice sunset picture.
- Nice composition, nice moon, nice colors

Here is what I think would have improved the image IMO

- Was the picture taken hand held? I can see the trees are not in focus, so I believe you did not use tripod. If you use tripod, you can even go 2 stops down on the shutter speed to make this perfect.
- Little more contrast / saturation in colors would be good. More saturation will bring Blue and Orange complementary colors to meet the challenge.

Best of luck for the future entires.
