Shame about that hair in the sky, I know you would have taken it out if you had the advanced rules so I am not going to knock off points for that. However, I must say that the post processing is not to my taste, mainly the blown out highlights around the sun area and the strong banding in the sky.

Very nice. Would be nicer to be advanced to clean up the dust (does not affect my vote)

Nice pic. I feel the resolution limitations of the challenge sort of kill the gradation of the sunlight. regardless, I would suggest you get the camera cleaned as there is a fair bit of fluff that distracts from the contents.

Lovely image, potentially, but devastatingly bad processing artifacts. If you're interested, feel free to communicate with me on how to post-process this image without artifacts :-)

Shame about the sensor dust. Like the haloed sky. Like the whole thing - it's a picture - 8

Beautiful. Unlike many shots, you captured both perspective and beauty in one picture.

It's a shame about the hair on the left and the spot on the right, but since it's basic editing, it doesn't affect my score. It also looks like you might have compressed it a bit far or converted to GIF at some point, because the sky shouldn't have those bands.
