I didn't vote in this challenge, but I think what hurt your score the most was the post processing on the sky. The contrast in the sky has been increased so much that it's really posterized (the banding and blobbiness). The increase in contrast also caused the noise in the dark part of the sky to really show up. The sky in your outtake is quite a bit better.

Hope this helps.


Yep helped alot =) thanks for taking you time to reply

I wouldn't say I OVER processed it? Maybe this is what killed me lol I just brought the vibrance and blacks up in lightroom! Altho I wonder if the other version would've scored better...

That was the whole point duuuuuuuuude!!! I thought having some detail on what was going on on the scene was a nice touch? Shame you disagreed, at the end of the day their figures are still silhouetted!
