Critique Club feedback:
You have an eye for a pretty scene, and that is half the battle.
The other half is capturing the scene and presenting it an appealing manner. Here are a couple of tips that will hopefully aid you in that regard:
1 - Avoid splitting your scene down the middle with the horizon. Shoot it (or crop it) so the horizon is about 1/3rd up from the bottom of the image if it is the sky you want to emphasize (reverse the logic if its the ground you are showcasing).
2 - In camera or in photoshop, try a much lighter hand with the saturation of colors. While the blues are very striking at first glance, the eye starts to notice things like the odd clipping in the red parts of the clouds and, often, a bit of pixelation where the color has just gone haywire.
DPC voters do tend to prefer very bright, saturated colors. At the same time, going too far will cause a bit of a backlash. I think this went a long way towards keeping this shot from scoring a bit higher than it did.
Hopefully these are helpful comments. Good luck! |

| Made me stop in my voting tracks to look and ponder. I think this image is rather understated - or at least it makes me look for more inside it. 8. |

| Sorry, can't see the beautiful sunset. But I can see a overly processed sky! Colors a grossly off in the sky. |

| Sorry but whatever was done in post processing (presumably some noise removal) doesn´t sit with me, this image looks very odd regarding texture and very flat and I don´t like that about it. |

| Nice shot - Like the leading lines but a little overdone on the saturation and a little muzzy too. |
