Composition
First thing that strikes me, and what i really like is the colour... awesome tint to the whole pic, and sets a real atomsphere. Unfortunately however, why i believe it didn't score too high is that the picture is too cluttered, there's too many distractions from the sauna heater. Also, its hard to tell that it is a sauna heater. perhaps focus on something more easily recognisable with less clutter around in the frame would have done nicely. Did i mention i really like the colour? :P
Technical
excellent technically, everything is in focus (though perhaps this is contributing to the distracting elements). picture is beautifully sharp, the grain on the wood shows really nicely. No real qualms with technical side of the picture
Post processing
The colour is really nice, and i'm not sure if a little curves/selective colour could have tweaked it just a little more to make it more appealing, but i do really like the colour here anyway. Not sure if you sharpened, butsome of it looks a little jagged edged. Also, maybe a different crop to hide more of the distracting elements would be nice.
Overall
Great idea, and i like the colour. Could have even labeled it first light from the sun (but then voters might DNMC), as the colour really does seem like first light or so... Declutter, find a target for the eye to be drawn to, and prefferably something more recognisable, and it would have done aweseome
