As soon as I saw this challenge I thought of the Moody Blues, Late Lament. I also know a lot of people wont get it. I’m guessing a score of 4.8.
Shot in raw. Levels in Digital Photo Professional.
Fine tuned with color contrast in Elements4, level, resize, sharpen, save for the web.

God I love the Moody Blues! This is a nice shot but I would like to see it a bit lighter. Not completely, just a little. Nice shot.

You got robbed on this. I thought it was most thought-provoking and an interesting entry indeed. Keep up the good work, and don't let that score bother you.

for me, this image is under exposed and would benefit from a stronger flavour of red through it. good luck! :o)

Would of liked to see a little more red come through in the shadows on the rock just after sunset possibly.

I think the Moody Blues were talking of the loss of colors at the gloaming. Since I'm unfamiliar with the rocks here, any red would have to be an illusion. So maybe I'm like that cruel orb that rules the night.
