Finally a 6+! :) The last few days it was around 5,9 but I'm glad it ended up just above 6. Was hoping for a little more, but this is my best score so far so can't complain really. I probably should have ditched the border though.

Excellent in all respects, but I feel the border detracts from the image rather than enhancing it.

From the Critique Club:

This shot looks like it could have a lot of potential. You have some very cool lines. I like the way the sun isn't centered like in many sunset shots. You do have some nice tones. But, it's got some issues that I think effected the scoring in this challenge.

First thing I would have to say mirrors several of your comments during challeng. It's way to dark. My eye is begging for detail that has been clipped out from the shadow detail. It appears that there is a road or bridge in the center of the shot that you can't see for sure. The foreground appears to be water but according to your description is the wet sea bed. This just needs the detail that I know is there but you can not see. Oh and just for the record, my monitor is calibrated pretty well.

Sunset shots, like any other type of shot needs to have a subject. A sunset by itself is more like a landscape. Unless it's a very STRONG sunset it doesn't act as the subject. It needs something else to let your eye land upon. There isn't anything here to achieve that goal.

Sunset shots are done all the time for challenges here at DPC. They tend to not score as well as some shots because they are done all the time. In order for a sunset type shot to score well it has to be exceptional in some way. This shot really isn't all that exceptional except for it's darkness. I would love to see the original of this to see what detail is really there!
