Technical Merrit: Exposure is right on! You have the highlight detail in all the right places. Focus: Good, not quite tack sharp, but then again, not many pics are.

Composition: Good use of negative space helps draw your eyes to the subject. However, crop feels too close. I would like to see more.

Interest: Can't quite put my finger on it, but something keeps me looking at it. Keeping that in mind, I can't help but want to see more, the crop is just too tight for me.

The way I look at scoring.
1-2 - Technically flawed, composition weak, should consider reshooting.
If you fall in this category it is taste that will determine a
1 or 2.
3-4 - Composition ok, but has an unforgivable technical error (out of
focus) or Technically ok but composition is weak.
5-6 - A technically good and compositionally pleasing shot,
with a noticable, but fixable, error.
7-9 - Technical and compositional excellence; it's all about taste at
this stage.
10 - Technically and compositionally superior! This image has
that X-Factor.

I would score this a 5.5 (meaning I think that an overall average should be a 5.5 when all voting is complete), since I can't vote a
5.5 I would given this pic a 6. I can't quite get past the tight crop, but, I think that is easily fixable! Thus, 6.
Why it scored below 5; I would venture and say the tight crop is
the culprit here.

This just lacks interest.

Landscape of Remembrance (Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial)

I would definitely level this, the tilt is distracting. Try bracketing your exposer and then pick the best, this is tough to expose with a digital cam because of the bright sky.

Seems a little blurry, not sure what aperature you used, but I would suggest something like f11 or f16 to help maximize DoF

My idea of a landscape photo is one that captures the natural environment. Some editing is fine!! I just feel that this is a bit much. I would really like to see unedited, a little more "aunatural".
