Greetings from the Critique Club...

I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 5 or 6.

My first impression is that this is an awesome photograph. I love the gradation in the sky, and the monument is nice and bright, but still holds the details very well. The cement horizon line is a little left heavy, and I would have prefered to see a little more negative space between the flags on the right and the edge of the photograph.

The score does not reflect the quality of the photograph, so it seems to me, the reason it didn't score higher was because the stars are not a significant part of the photograph. They become secondary to the other elements in the photo.

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.

Perhaps it's just an illusion, but appears the monument is tilting towards the right. Good job capturing the stars.

Nice, but the stars almost get lost in all that negative space.
