Other than the people, I would have given this a 4.. As it was you got a six.. And yes, I can understand the 1 vote. This was a very difficult scene, but would have been much better a bit later. The sky needed to equalize in brightness with the ground. Obviously a HDR would have been ideal. As a result your sky is blown out and the ground is dark, unsaturated, and noisy. I really shouldn't have voted 6 here, but I liked the people very much.

I completely disagree with the previous comment -- the people add interest and a sense of scale. Much, much better with the people! :)

Pretty purples :-) I might like it a bit better with the sky cropped out since it's not really adding any interest to the scene.

Nice composition, and the gray foreground contrasts nicely with the colors in the distance.
