An interesting observation. There has definitely been a shift in your primary subjects since moving from Germany to California. Perhaps that is part of the issue. Perhaps you just need to "find your groove" to utilize a tired cliche. 5 1/4 is not a bad entry at all, it just missed the broad appeal mark and is a bit lower than you are used to.
This was also a tough challenge for many of us. Even DrAchoo only managed in the mid-5's, and left a remark on his own entry saying "Basic editing sucks". The combination of b/w plus basic editing made this one of the harder challenges, IMO. My own scores have been roughly in the same area as your own.

| Deb..you finished reasonably well and the median vote of 5, the middle, so you grabbed a lot of folks, with score 6 a decent second, I think you're onto something. You have a great eye and your portfolio bears that out..so just keep shooting! I would miss your view of the world if you were to stop! |

Good tonal range, lovely sky, well processed.
Nothing wrong with it but my eye is drawn out to sea which makes it a weaker landscape for me. |

| IMO your foreground is to much in my face...I want to see what is just over the hill and off in the distance more...it's like it's blocking the view |
