Greetings from the Critique Club!
First rule of DPC. Read the rules. Second and all subsequent rules of DPC: See first rule. It is very, very, VERY important to read and understand not only the ruleset for challenges, which tell you what you can't do, and more importantly....what you CAN do. Like go to 1200 pixels on the longest side. More importantly you failed to follow a very simple rule which was clearly outlined in the challenge description, and did not title your image 'Aftermath' as instructed.
The photo itself is only OK. I keep going back looking at it to see something that grabs my eye and draws me in, but there's nothing there in terms of composition to act as a focal point and start telling a story. The horizon is level and the colours are nice but so little is in focus, and so little of what is in focus to be seen, that it's all too easy to give this pic a low score and move on to the next one.
So, to submit a somewhat drab photo that could easily have been 1/3 bigger and to ignore that extra rule requiring you to title it appropriately, has resulted in a very top-heavy histogram.
Moral of this story: read the rules. Then follow them. And if there is ever a little yellow flag next to a challenge descrip, it behooves you to go and read up and learn why that flag is there, and follow whatever special instructions are indicated.
Sorry to come down a little hard on you, but that's just the way it is here. Feel free to PM me with any questions.
