8 from me - surprised me, too, by its relatively low finish. I think it may be what's called the speed voters. It really has to be paused over and studied to be fully appreciated. I bumped and bumped :)
This is a gorgeous photograph and you were smart to keep the sky out, as it has everything going on without it. Great light, nice composition with the detailed tree in the front, and it's nice to see you didn't go crazy with the processing. Colors are beautiful at that time of day as is with fall to boot.
I entered one for the first time and for fall in Colorado it as a nice scene, great light, but was lacking in the foreground subject interest, as yours was not.
I thought yours was among the very best, it gives me some insight into how things are evaluated here and people's tastes.
What a beautiful moment of the day - I love the ribbon of blue winding through the frame, the backlighting of the trunk and rocks, and all the gold tipped trees. Voted earlier.
