This was a hard challenge to shoot for, since a lot of my entires were either really boring subject wise, or else imposssible to reproduce. This one I at least could do again, since my window hasn't shifted in the last month. The most notable comment I got was that the view out my window was too 'generic', so I re-shot at a more dramatic time of day (which is actually what I wanted to do for the initial challenge, but we had really lame sunrises all that week). The one thing I couldn't fix is the uneven sides, because I angled out the window to avoid the house that is to the right.

First Impression Colors add little more to this comapre to the original.
Composition: Height is just 393 pixels. I would like to see more height.
Subject: Improvement over the origianl in terms of colors and interesting coulds. But the composition is almost smae. I don't know if there were any comments on the original about the height.
Technical (Colour and light): The color and lighting okay.
Improvement: Different composition which allows more height.
Summary: Just notices the take two is almost same score as the original.

First impression: It is dark and overblown. Beautiful colours there in between.
I like the other one more than I do this one.
What can you do better? It is better to take a dark photograph of clouds and use post processing to lighten it up with levels. It is impossible to fix blown clouds. I am no expert but my "Fool on the Hill" photo is a good example on clouds before and after.
Nice sunset, but the original image seems to be better overall. I can't figure out why. Maybe it seems to have better clarity. Anyway, it is nice to see the various moods one window can give you. Quite a view if that is what you get to look at every day.
Not sure if you were taking the frame out of the equation, but maybe a fill flash to put some light on the frame, this type of shot is very hard to be able to balance the light on both subjects....5
