Greetings from the Critique Club!
First, let me say that I am not a professional or even a very good amature photographer, so you may want to take my comments with a grain of salt.
Meeting the Challenge: Well, I'd certainly say this qualifies. :-)
Composition: Wow. I've never seen a photo that so wonderfully balances foreground and background. The diagonal line of the land works very well too. I am very impressed by the composition and this is what makes the photo really stand out for me.
I'm assuming this is an accident (if not, wow), but the silhouette has a couple of pieces of the foreground cutting across and it looks very much like the collar of a jacket or something. It's really cool.
Color: Three words: to die for.
Camera Work / Post Processing / Lighting: Everything's in focus that should be and with a picture like this... it really makes it amazing. I love the crop, and the contrast and saturation look great to me. As mentioned previously, a burn on some of the highlights in the front might have helped. (This is the ONLY thing I see about this photo that I don't love 100%) I love the way the light from the background is balanced with the shadows.
Title: I don't completely understand but am thinking it has a relation to the evening, and that totally works with this photo. In any case I think it is a good title because it doesn't state something obvious about the picture (letting the picture speak for itself).
Image Dimensions and Filesize: No problems here.
Misc / My subjective thoughts: Wow. Just wow. I am so delighted I got to critique this photo. Have you considered making it available as a print? (I'd recommend the burning and maybe a border color closer to the tan of the foreground if you do.)
I hope this helps! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

I love the lighting on this with those beautiful grasses in the glowing light and the silhouette look behind it. This is awesome (as usual :) |

Rámaði mjög innilega à að hafa séð þessa einhvers staðar áður. Ãannig að hún hlaut að vera Ãslensk. Var hún ekki à einhverri keppni á ljosmyndari.is eða à mbl.is ljósmyndakeppninni eða eitthvað svoleiðis? |

I'd have done a little selective burning-in on the brightest foreground stems to balance them with the rest of the image. |

Interesting angle. Light is done/used well without losing the color of the sky. Good job. |
