Very nice scene. It seems to be missing something to give it a wow factor though. It was probably a better shot 10 minutes after you took this, but then it would have been just in time. I like the clouds, but I don’t like the over all color of the photo. It’s kind of a dull shade and it over powers the small spot of sun.
I like silhouette shots, but I’d like to see something from the bottom coming up higher, maybe on the left side? A tree or a branch maybe? Right now it looks like a cluster of stuff along the bottom.
Overall I would have scored this a 5. It meets the challenge and it’s an attractive scene but it just seems to be missing something.
I hope you find my review helpful, if you have any questions feel free to PM me.
Unfortunately a literal interpretation of this challenge makes it hard to come up with WOW images, because you have to by definition miss the WOW moment. You did a good job here catching something attractive while remaining literally attached to the challenge. (I personally have been giving a lot of leeway on challenge interpretation in this one, but still, good job working within the guidelines here.)
Not quite sun up, and not quite a winner. Very bland blue sky and very bland black base. Not much to see really. Needs to have some interest somewhere for the eye to rest on. Going to have to vote this a 4, sorry
