Taken this out my bedroom window, not the best photo!
Okay, I would just like to reply to people on this.
The Sun IS a star.
The entry guidelines do not specify as to whether the star had to be present in the photograph, it just said "use" them, which I have done, I have used the effect of the Sun (as a star) to gain the effect of a sunset.

I really wouldn't argue that the sun is a star because the other part of the description mentions showing a night sky. If I can see the sun I don't really consider that night time.
Like you said however, the sun isn't in the shot so we are at twillight. Its not day, and its not night. Its kinda both...or neither. Much like water at 0 degrees celsius can be said to be melting or freezing. Giving you the benefit of the doubt I marked it as a 5. Not great but not bad.
Had there been a more interesting silhouette and this was a free study? Easily an 8 plus however. The sky is wonderful. If you have another shot like this I would encourage you to enter it in this month's free study.
For the picture itself, it's an ok sunset. A wider angle lens may have made it more interesting for me. But for this challenge - no planets, moons, or stars.

The juxtoposition of the harsh landscape line with the softness of the clouds is visually interesting. I'm thinking the cropping could be done differently. Less black space on the bottom and the right.
