Sharp capture; great detail; interesting subject. I also like the use of negative space on the right side. If I had to criticise I would have liked the text to be the other way up, but if this is how it's stamped on the watch then there wasn't really anything you could do about that. My favourite.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

This is such a great photograph, I personally thought is would defiantly be in the top 10 but 11 is still really good especially in a tough challenge like this one. You did an amazing job of capturing the light at just the right time to create such warm coloring in the sky.

I am really glad you included the foreground in this piece. I took a class once that compared landscape shots that included a foreground to those that do not and the difference is huge. The placement of the subject in the center is nice and really good that it is not dead center.

Your portfolio is amazing and I look forward to many more great shots from you.

Thought this would be a lot higher than it finished. Loved the clouds and the contrasts in the shot. I still think its a wonderful shot.

Let me say that I like the colors how they are, and wow- those clouds were nice. I like your treatment of the colors; and processing is not the issue here, the issue is the the camera location point and compositional angle, and its not your fault, its just that the spot you photographed from isn't a wow factor angle. That being said, it probably creates a situation where voters recognize the terrific subject but want more out the composition, where here you are a bit below the subject and it creates a primitive perspective feel, more Warren Kimble than DPC wow factor.
Sorry for the long explanation, sometimes I just have to rationalize a photos place in the "voting scheme"(and this time I did it out loud.)
