I promised you some feedback after the challenge. Here 'tis.
I didn't get around to voting this one. probably would have given it a 6, maybe a 5 if I was grumpy. I'm actually surprised to see that this did almost a dead 5. Good smooth tones in the sky and you caught a nice starburst view of the sun. My only real critique is the tip of the tree is barely cut off. I think perhaps it did so mediocre because it is so similar to stuff that everybody has seen lots of before. On the other hand, there are lots of high scoring images that copy previous winning shots. Damned if you do and damned if you don't! Remember that a 5 on DPC is pretty good anywhere else. Your family will be showing this one off.
You know what? I just realized that this is very similar in comp and features to my July freestudy entry, which scored even a bit less than yours. Maybe comparing the two will help identify some common traits that hurt both of them.
