Quick question...Are you editing on a Calibrated Monitor?
I didn't vote this challenge... but looking at the pic here and the sky is quick blotchy...a quick pass through a noise filter would have cleaned it up nicely... May have helped you out.
mine did even worse (54 and something 3 or lower).
But at least, I stirred up the people and they went through some of the deadly sins while looking at my picture. I'm joking: unfortunately this wasn't my real intention.

The sky was a bit of a turn off for me also. Wondered why it hadn't been cleaned up a little. JMO. ;^)

Maestro,
you photo wouldn't talk sin without the title and the challenge. Technically, it was flawless, as always, better than thousand Paris' postcards.
