I have a bet running on this challenge with shorterthanjesus. Whoever scores the higher rating wins.

Second guessing myself, but I'm gonna stick with this one.

I know this won't come close to winning, but I am hoping for a 6+.

Very nice idea, clouds look great. Just wish the sun wasn't so vivid. It drawls your eye from the rest of the image. Very nice capture... minus the sun.

Beautiful sunset. Love the fence post in the shot. Love the angle of the shot. Nice composition.

this is pretty, but there have been so many sunset pictures here with more dramatic skies, this one doesn't really stand out. also, the colour distortion around the Sun is a major distraction. the fence posts and wire do add another dimension, and their inclusion is definitely a plus. generally nicely composed, though feels there might be too much sky (especially the blue bits). making the skies darker (either burn tool or selecting the sky and using contrast or levels) might have upped the drama a bit. 5.

Composition works nicely - I like how you positioned the fence with respect to the sun, and the open/blue part of the sky. Nicely seen.

Composition: 5 - Nice placement of the horizon and the negative space at the top works well.
Technical: 4 - A bit of overexposure in the sun and parts of the clouds.
Creativity: 5 - I've seen sunsets before and nothing in this one makes it really stand out.
Appeal: 5 - Interesting colours and forground silhouettes but it doesnt hold my interest all that long.

Overall Calculated Average Score: 5
