I love this Angela, great to see you back entering challenges dear friend..... Look forward to seeing somemore of your images, as we missed you, actually I missed you.....
Nice use of thirds. This image outperforms other landscapes/sunsets in this challenge for me in that gold is the dominant color, none of the colors appear to have much banding, you've captured some lovely contrasting textures between the foreground & background and I love the tonal shift as my eyes move up the photo.
meets the challenge, but it would score higher from me if you had an element to key one in the picture. Plus, it looks liek the focus falls off int he middle.
