i really like the masts of the boats with the buildings.
like a city on land and water.
and of course the clouds are beautifully captured.
nice work.

Greetings from the Critique club!

Nice colors and nice setup and composition. Lighting is interesting and well executed. It certainly meets the challenge.

As to why it didn't score higher? I'm not sure either. I gave this a 6 but could just as easily have given it a 7. There are a few artifacts/jaggies from resizing. One of the comments I heard or received was that a lot of the shots looked like a product shot. This is a step beyond that but I think people were looking for a bit more. (like you mention - perhaps a human element)

Looks like the slow shutter speed cused some blur. I still like it. My first two submissions have ben said to be too dark-similar to yours....I like it because the viewer has to look a little harder for the subtle details and stayes interested longer. I think any low scores you may get will be from the fast raters who don't take much time in viewing...Its a 7

The swirl of clouds is amazing. It's like something big is about to engulf the city. The color tone of the water is beautiful too. Congrats on the yellow!
