Composition - Really a quite beautiful shot. Great colors. Probably would've been slightly more successful if you took it a few minutes earlier. I think that people were a little too hard on the yellow part of this challenge and looked at that more than they did the quality of the photos. If it's sort of yellow, that's good enough for me. I think that a tighter cropped would've really worked for you to concentrate a lot more on the mountain in what is the center here. I'd have cut out quite a bit of the bottom, a little of the top and about 15% of the left side to really bring the mountain part and the color to the forefront. The dark clouds on the left side LOOK blurry, but how could they be? But they aren't contributing positively to this picture. That's about all I'd suggest in terms of composition.
Photography - It must've been actually pretty light out when you took this judging by the fast shutter speed and high F number. The 200 ISO is a little peculiar too. I'd think you'd get better color representation at 100 or less. Who am I to say though? It turned out well.
Processing - I think cropping it tighter would've made a big difference. If the people want yellow, give them yellow!! Seriously, I would've "juiced" the yellow hues a bit to make them a bit brighter, but no serious changes. Its very good.
Overall - This is a very underrated photo. I can see the viewers need for lemon yellow to a point, but this qualifies in my book. I think this is a very good photo that needs a little adjustment to make it more challenge worthy, but as just a photo, NEEDS little adjustment to make it as good as it could be. Nice shot Jeremy!! - Bob
beautiful sunset. I like the silhouetted mountain. the angle and framing/cropping are great. color is very nice. i think it's divided just nicely with the horizon and the mountains. the dark clouds on the top create a nice balance. a nice shot. good luck in the challenge.
You really did capture amber! There is a lot of negative space here, so the yellow really sticks out. You might try splitting your upper half and lower half bymore or less than a half next time you take a similar picture. In other words, show more water or show more sky. That may make a more dynamic picture. Nice job.
