Greetings from the Critique Club

Hard for me to critique this one as you have received quite in depth comments already. This is a lovely image and fits the challenge well. I think you could have improved your score with a few minor changes. A few have been mentioned already, such as cropping out the foreground. I'm also not convinced about the border the horizontal lines don't work for me at least.

Normally a 6+ score would give you a higher placement, but I think this was quite a strong challenge with some quite high scores. Still not too shabby and a nice addition to your front page.

This is a very Florida Keys looking shot. I've seen it almost this red down there a little after sunset. This would be shot from somewhere at or near Marathon from your MM info. The vignette is a natural thing there too, when shooting sunsets with a very wide lens, because the light actually does off pretty fast going away from the sun around the horizon. I do agree thought that it would look more natural and pleasing a little less saturated and not as purple with the tint.
