Hey there from the Critique Club

My thoughts on the image: I am not a fan of the post-processing here. It looks like the images you used for the sky were not aligned fully, leaving a repetitive, blurry feeling to the overall image.Even with that, I do like the strength in the colors and the approaching storm you captured.

My ideas for improvement: I'd like to see the golf course area a bit more exposed and brighter. While I am not 100% sure that the overlay is off up top, I think it was. If so, it needs to be properly aligned. If am am mistaken, please accept my apology.

Where I would have/did score this entry: I did not vote on this particular challenge, but this entry would have pulled a 3 or a 4 from me. The relative darkness of the landscape itself leaves room for vast improvements.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

Nice rich blues and greens. The flag movement is a bit distracting.
