My thoughts on the image: Well-deserved ribbon with this one! I feel like I am sitting there, looking out into that valley. Great colors and fantastic composition.
My ideas for improvement: Again, there is not 1 thing I would change here. It is hard to get such great detail shooting into the sun. Fantastic capture!
Where I would have/did score this entry: I did not vote in this one, but this would have been an 8 or 9 for me. I think it should have finished 2nd, but we are really splitting hairs there. Great work!
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,

I'd have moved that bench, physically, about 4 feet to the left, if you could. This is a gorgeous location and you were there at the absolute best time of day to catch the light and color. Well done.
