Here's your critique as requested! :D
Hawaii is beautiful. The sunsets are amazing, but very overused. This is done fairly well. The contrast in the palm trees, the clarity of the clouds in the sky, and the sun. The reason this didn't score higher is probably sense people are just sick of seeing Hawaiian sunset photos, all exactly like this. Also, the halo around the sun kind of detracts form the image rather then enhances it. If I were to have taken this photo, I would have tried to avoid the lens glare and put something more interesting in the photo as a silhouette over trees, trees just aren't interesting enough to work as the subject of the photo here, and they take up a very small portion of the photo, the rest is covered in sky. It's not a bad photo, but why exactly am I looking at it? Good job, beautiful scene, DPC'ers have just seen way to many fo these over the years. Hope I was helpful! :D
