A windstorm started up, with gusts 50-60 mph. Figured my only chance at weather, since the days had been clear and cloudless. Came across a irrigation ditch with water and a lot of snow left, just as the sun was setting behind Hallet Peak, and a rain shower blowing in.

This was a remarkable photo and I'm surprised that it didn't get a ribbon, and frustrated, as you must be, that it came soooo close. Great job. I'm adding it to my favorites.
I rated this a 10 not only because it's just a beautiful picture, but because you have all of your lines focusing on a central point- the sun. This is a very imaginative and interesting picture to look at. Good luck!
The more I look at this shot, the more I like it. I guess my only gripe with it is that it looks a cluttered. There's just too much to look at. Any of the elements, clouds sunrise or riverscape would have made a good photo, but all thrown together it looks a little over the top.
This is great work.. It looks almost unreal! The only thing that bothers me is the hill on the right side looks a bit washed out. Easily fixable out side the challenge... good score for you!
Nice. Good eye. How did you take this shot? Are you in the water here? Maybe a little on the dark side. I like the opposing symmetry of the two slopes.
Wow. This is a magical photo! Where did you take it? I love the composition with the sun centered and the clouds coming in (?) from the left. It even looks like they might be rain clouds... :)
Fantastic photo and work -- my first ever 10 vote!
Sorry, but I can't say nothing more than "great". IMHO there ist nothing wrong in this shot at all. My favourite so far. Usually I dont vote highest scores for sunset shots, but this one is so much more. Great composition and spirit, with a perfect connection betwen the dramatic sky and earth. Good luck for the challenge! - 10
Wow killer colors here and what a wild sky! I'm not sure I would have centered everything the way you have, I would have placed the sun in one of the lower thirds either left or right following the rule of thirds - 9.
