I don´t have a whole lot to say about this image so I´ll keep this short. I kindof like it but it also is just lacking something that would want to make me vote it very high.
What I like is it´s simplicity, it´s easy to look at, very easy on the eyes. Got great focus/dof and I like the bokeh. Composition is also above average but could have been better, mostly I would want to see an even steeper angle and more panoramic crop, the close to square crop is kindof "squishing" everything together, for lack of a better word. A longer crop and more area to the right with stuff out of focus is something that would have appealed more to me.
I think that most people did vote this a 5 is a tell tale sign that while it´s a pleasant photo to look at, there was pretty much nothing memorable about the photo so probably most people just threw a 4-6 rating on the shot and just moved on to the next photo. You needed something that was different about this photo, like really odd coloring on the posts or something that added interest.
One thing you probably already know, but having a blown sky or any big areas with blown highlights will always hurt your score here at DPC. Personally I don´t mind and think it goes well together with the dark posts to create contrast but there are just so many self proclaimed experts here who can easily identify blown highlights and think a photo can not work with a sky like this.
I don´t know what else to say so I´ll just say kind regards from Iceland, Lárus.
