Here Comes The Sunby
PixelstateComment by L1: Greetings from the Critique Club! :)
What a gorgeous scene... you've captured it very well, too! Your technicals are all spot-on...focus, clarity, composition... nice job!
As far as relating to the challenge, well...you know the voters around here love to be hit on the head with the image and I bet you got more than your share of votes from those who saw this and said "What Sun???" In the average 3 seconds a voter takes to judge an image, I bet you got one second to read the title, two seconds to see the image, and then they moved on. Those who weren't quite as rigid probably gave you high marks for the picturesque scene, and the others, well...they probably gave you 5 and under. They're looking for the sun in the background, not as the light source behind you.
In a landscape or scenic challenge, this would be way up there...but in this particular one, it was just probably a bit more of a stretch in some voters' eyes (those eyes that couldn't see the sun, anyway). ;)
Keep clicking, and let me know if you have any questions!
Take care,
