Seems a bit overprocessed with the lines in the sky, and I'm not sure what the coloring is on the pier itself, but it seems unnatural. Looks like a great location though and I like the way the pier leads out and disappears.

This one would have been a great image but pushing the saturation fo colors has caused major artifacting and RGB noise.

UH Oh! Looks like there was a hair on the lens unless that is a bird with long wings.

nice picture... too bad about the sensor dust.

Way over saturated. Looks like lots of dust and debris on your lens. Would have been a very nice picture if it wasn't so overly adjusted.

if this were advanced editing......

Shame about that hair in the sky, I know you would have taken it out if you had the advanced rules so I am not going to knock off points for that. However, I must say that the post processing is not to my taste, mainly the blown out highlights around the sun area and the strong banding in the sky.

Very nice. Would be nicer to be advanced to clean up the dust (does not affect my vote)

Nice pic. I feel the resolution limitations of the challenge sort of kill the gradation of the sunlight. regardless, I would suggest you get the camera cleaned as there is a fair bit of fluff that distracts from the contents.

Lovely image, potentially, but devastatingly bad processing artifacts. If you're interested, feel free to communicate with me on how to post-process this image without artifacts :-)

Shame about the sensor dust. Like the haloed sky. Like the whole thing - it's a picture - 8

Beautiful. Unlike many shots, you captured both perspective and beauty in one picture.

It's a shame about the hair on the left and the spot on the right, but since it's basic editing, it doesn't affect my score. It also looks like you might have compressed it a bit far or converted to GIF at some point, because the sky shouldn't have those bands.

Too many dust spots on the photo.

Aside from the technical issues (which I assume you've heard plenty about by now) The perspective and complementary colors are very good in this shot.

Is that fluff on the lens?

  Photographer found comment helpful.

for some reason i expect to see the character from 'the scream' here...

The colours and depth and composition are very nice but there are several obvious blemishes. Is that from a dirty lens?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

There's hair and dust on your lens. 1

In my opinion this would have been a great shot of the pier. I would have scored it higher, but I found the colors to be just to much in my face for my taste. But I really liked the overall comp. of the photo

Nice picture... is there a few flaws or spots...on it ?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The banding in the sky sort of blows it for me, otherwise a nice shot
