 I shot this sunset on Sentosa Island. Singapore. I think the contrast between subtle and gentle Sky & Sea and Industrial landscape could be an interesting subject.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

First Impression: I gave this a 6, I thought of the earth and it's resources as being delicate.

Composition: Horizon's level and placed well, everything seems a little distant though.

Subject: Looking at this picture you could think of it in two ways. People either focused on the point of view that the earth and it's resources are delicate or they focused on the ships and the big industries in the back. Focusing on the first it fits the challenge well, I thought so at least, but just taking a look you see giant cargo ships that are built to carry large amounts, this way it's not so delicate.

Technical: Colours of the sunset are nice and the way the smoke is flowing towards the sun is also good. Picture has a mix of warm (sky)and cold tones (water and the ships). Good choice of title, for me it pointed me to think in terms of the earth and not industrial.

Final thoughts: You still beat out about 25% of the entries so it didn't place too bad, just the lack of something obviously delicate hurt you.
