I just saw this in the VB and gave it a 7. For me, this was not an easy photo to judge. As I look at it now, I think maybe I should have given it an 8. Then I see something that bothers me, and I think it should have received a 5.
I love the sepia tone-like colors, but in some ways I think there's too much sky. The foreground and background are both very interesting, but the shot seems to lack depth and detail - especially in the background. The dark foreground is an excellent contrast to the golden background. I guess I just gave you a mixed review.
