Thanks a lot ericwoo. I'll pay more attention to my titles from now on, never really thought it would matter that much.
Oh well, live and learn I guess.

Hey there from the Critique Club
First off, congrats on your growing scores. Your last two are on an upward trend. Second, welcome to DPC. I hope to see those scores keep on growing.
Camera Work/Technical: Nice choice of settings to give this shot the slight underexposure that it needed. The tree line, as well as the power lines are nicely focused.
Lighting: Really cool lighting. This gives are great moodiness to the capture, and gives the viewer a sense of anticipation that all daylight is about to fade away.
Composition/Content: Beautiful sunset, and I like the composition. You are correct that the title threw the voters off. I imagine that it did cost you more than you think. Lots of voters are tough on titles, a lesson I learned the hard way. While I usually ignore the title all together, most around here do not. I do not think that there is too much sky included. I think that it serves well in providing a greater tonal range.
My Opinion: I think that you would have approached a score or 5.8-6.0 with a more clever title. Again, voters will tear you apart for a title they think is off or wrong. Nice capture that fits the challenge well. Congrats on your best score to date, and we look forward to more of the upward trend. |

Thanks for the comments and votes. Yes, I messed up with the title. Nothing strange about it at all. Hope it didn't hurt my score too much.
As for "too much sky", well I had to use that angle since there is a house blocking the view right beneath where I was standing (my terrace). I could have cropped it of course, but I didn't. ;-) |

| A bit too much sky at the top, but altogether stellar, nevertheless. |

| I like the shot, but where does the "strange" part of the title come into play? |
