Taken just after sunset, sorta. In the mountains, the valley is in shadow while the surrounding hills and sky are still lit. I used a flash fill to light up the fence.
PP: adjust levels and curves to add a bit more light to entire photo, cloned out a stick weed, USM, adjusted curves for a bit more light. Photo shown is full frame -- shown without the sproket slots...:-)

Although you may be getting killed with DNMC because there is light in the sky (sun) and light from your flash (two sources)...I'm going to vote on the shot as is....
Nice composition and perspective. I would have liked to see you use your artificial light in a way that would have added more to the photo...perhaps shooting when it was even darker out to emphasize the fill light.
Well, I'd guess the flash along with the sun would count as two light sources, but I'm not a stickler for stuff like that. But what I think you may have missed is the dramatic effects that can be created with a single light source.
This photo doesn't use the topic of the challenge with enough strength to do very well. The challenge topic needs to be VERY evident in the photograph.
I think just from the title of your photo, your image does not meet the challenge. Aside from that, there really is no clear cut focal point of this photo. My eye is attracted to the tree in the center of the composition against the blown out sky which I do not find interesting at all.
