I GAVE YOU A 7 BUT IT WAS CLOSE TO AN 8 IF THE WHITE FLARE WAS NOT SO BRIGHT AT THE TOP POINT... I LOVED THE COLOUR AND THE PERSPECTIVE BUT THERE WERE A LOT OF VERY GOOD ENTRIES IN THIS ONE KEEP DOING YOUR BEST AND IT WILL HAPPEN AS YOU HAVE A GOOD EYE FOR COMPOSITION... FROM SHEZ

| Like a huge Rubik cube :). I really like this, should have placed higher. I love the feeling of weight I'm getting from the perspective used, contrasted by the flare and clouds. |

Hi James, welcome to the other side of the Critique Zone!
This is a bit wierd - I was just looking at some of your critiques, and here you are on the other side of the wall... anyway...
Overall, I really like this shot - so did the voters although I would have thought that they would like it a little more? Genuinely not sure why this did not break the 7.0 barrier.
Technically, there is nothing that I can fault here - even being nitpicky. f3.5 seems like a pretty wide aperture - perhaps not necessary given the amount of light? But it doesn't seem to have affected your DOF, so no problem there. The lighting, as commented on elsewhere, is excellent and focus is very well controlled.
Artistically, it is on the nail for the rule of thirds in every direction / dimension, and is very visually pleasing as a result. The leading lines, sunbursts and clouds all add great texture. If it were my shot, I might try seeing what it would look like a little darker? Of course I haven't tried that and it might not work.
Like I said, I don't think there is anything to fault here. This is definitely one for the album!
Happy hunting,
Frank.

| Well, color is good here, but you certainly have a flair for compositional drama. |

| The cloud activity makes this image standout from the other similar images. Nice composition. |
