I know they are planets. I wonder how many people will call me on that? The "star" of the DC skyline is the Washington Monument. I also had the chance to catch 2 planets in the background. I think this is cool.

I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 5 or 6.
My first impression is that this is an awesome photograph. I love the gradation in the sky, and the monument is nice and bright, but still holds the details very well. The cement horizon line is a little left heavy, and I would have prefered to see a little more negative space between the flags on the right and the edge of the photograph.
The score does not reflect the quality of the photograph, so it seems to me, the reason it didn't score higher was because the stars are not a significant part of the photograph. They become secondary to the other elements in the photo.
