For me personally, a tighter crop might have been more effective. There is too much space in the lower left, but not enough to be truly effective negative space, I think.

Great silhoutte work but it lacks an interesting enough subject to be one of the top contenders IMO. The silhoutte's are good and crisp and the sunset has very pleasant colors. Better than most but not quite ribbon material.

The 'top-bottom' feel of this scene is lost a bit because of the square format. 4

Do you reallize this is an unusual weather effect called a sun pillar? It requires a certain shape of ice crystals in the atmosphere to reflect the light, right amount, right altitudes, right time... I've noticed that a few sunset shots in this challenge have them to varying degrees. Amazing that this was occuring for several people at about the same time.
As for the photo, I would like to see the horizon, it seems cut off. You coulde probably bump up the contrast and saturation some to give it more color and increase the effect of the pillar. Hope that helps, good luck! :)

Silhouettes... yes... doesn't go much beyond that though. It meets the challenge but I don't find the photo particularly interesting.
