I hope the several TENs and NINEs I gave in this challenge do not hurt my ranking?

The score has exceeded 7.4 at 154 votes, so I am thinking I just may get to be in the top three; and I have even surpassed my PB of the photo “Divine Delight” which was a spur of the moment and a spontaneous lucky shot,; while this one is a well planed and timed HDR photo that I drove for to Dana Wild Reserve about 250 km southwest of Amman where I live.

A sunset at Dana wild reserve in southwest Jordan where copper rich rocks shine a reddish reflection
I hope it stays this way or improves :) Also a friend of mine was taking my picture while I was photographing
But DPC will still need the originals I guess!
And to use a cliche: "It has been a long week"

The eleventh hour, and it is 6 AM here in Jordan, leaving now for my daily 16 km fast walk hopefully by the time I come back I will see the photo in the top 3; InshAllah
I own a 450d as well and I am seriously stunned that this image was created using a 450d!! I am glad I own one after seeing this. What a tremendous motivation to keep going and keep learning to shoot! Awesome job!!! I would love to see the originals...
Superb and eye catching composition. Lovely light, color and detail. 10
Aha.....I worked out that this is your entry Highnooner. I recognize the terrain as being very similar to other images in your portfolio.
I'd bet you are getting lots of comments on your border. My own opinion is that it is too thick and distracting, but the picture is great. Good luck. (not voting)
I don't know about the thick borders, for it narrows the image. And in this challenge, I think the wider the photo is the better it becomes. Without the border, it's a very decent photo.
Taking no chances on the 800 pixel thing? ;-)
Beautifully detailed image with all things in the right places and (other than the heavy black borders) nothing there that shouldn't be there.
I'm guessing that when the competition is over the sky won't be the only thing that's blue.
Stunning... The wonderful tones and detail are amazing. Simply stunning. Still on the fence about the thick black border, but I can't give you anything but a 10.
This is nothing less than stunning. My only suggestion would be to reduce the borders (top and bottom) by half. Nothing to knock points off for IMHO. Wonderful leading line into the sun through the canyon. The tones complete this shot, brilliant work.
