Comment by amandalore:
well, I'll give you my non-expert opinion also... I agree that there's not much "wow" factor or story with the photo and I also think that more detail in the foilage would help, or some sort of subject, beside the lights, to focus on. I'm not sure with the editing rules, but if there were some way to have more of a gradient to the sky, that would look nice. Other than that, I really like the photo, it has a nice clean look to it and the colors look great to me. I personally like more "abstract" type art, but I've noticed that those sorts of photos don't do as well with the DPC community.

For what it's worth I gave it a 7 . I liked it. Perhaps one way to improve would be to have more detail in the foliage on the side might of helped-who knows. Keep on trying and one day you will hit the jackpot (",)

Comment by ShutterPug:
Technical flaws that I think hurt your score: the color of the sky is artificial - too much cyan from what I am seeing. Several sensor dust spots can be seen in the sky. The tree line has haloing indication over sharpening done in post-processing. Ona positive note - composition was executed well.
There isn't a subject of strong interest, thus no WOW factor. Most people like to see a story being told by an image. There is no story here.

I think a 5.5 was a pretty fair score on this image. Whiule the colors of the lights down the road are striking, there are too many other improvements that could have been made to score this higher.

Found subject to be uninteresting, though your leading lines give it some strength. They aren't leading anywhere, though, so when you use that as a compositional technique you need to have a point of reference where the lines are leading the eye.
