Greetings from the Critique Club
I think is is an image that did not score as well as it could have done. I think the composition is very nice, the tree on the left is well placed and gives an anchor point. The sun is pretty bright so rather difficult to expose correctly. I am not entirely sure a scene such as this really benefits from the Lucis Arts filter. I think possibly the effect this filter has had on the sky makes it look a little unreal.
I do think a slightly different approach to editing this would have given you a slightly higher score. I would tried a levels adjustment layer on the dark foreground only, reduced the brightness/exposure very slightly on the sky and then pumped up the vibrancy/saturation a little bit in the blue/cyan/red channels. I think that would have made a big difference and may have helped the score slightly.
I do think this image had the potential to score much better.

| This doesn't feel sad to me, it feels refreshing and I like the crispness of it. |

| This is a really nice dramatic scene. Excellent use and positioning of the tree. My only complaint is that it's a little difficult to make out what it is at the bottom third of the shot, whether it's water or icy fields. Could just be the calibration on my screen though. |
