This was taken in the gorgeous Colorado Rockies just as the sun dipped down behind the mountain range to sleep. It was a very Zen feeling up there as there was a decent group of people, but they were all awestruck with the sunset and everything seemed to be at peace. Fantastic!

Found this in the Critique Club section:

I personally like the cropping, it would make a nice poster. The composition is decent and I think the score is a bit low for this, but probably scored under average because of the negative black space underneath on the bottom of the frame. I love your inclusion of the foliage on the right but the mountains feel hidden to me, and I want to see more of them when looking at this.

The colors are awesome. I also love the lighting through the dramatic clouds. The photo isn't bad, just flawed and DPC voters are picky as you probably know.

Subject is very nice... the contract is a bit much for me, but very pretty colors.

Wow, impressive colors. Reminds me of Pikes Peak in Colorado. Very peaceful.

stormy rather than silent and peaceful. Nice colors.
