First Impression - the most important one: Wow ..awesome colours ... a little disconcerted at the angle (but that is me) ... the patterns and leading lines are great.
Subject: Well done ... meets the challenge in so many ways.
Composition: I love the way that the lines in the sky created a leading line for the eye to follow ... I found the angle a little weird .... I also think that the changing of the colours leads you through the picture as well.
Technical (Colour and light): Lovely .. awesome .. beautiful .. not a lot is say on these really.
To grow its vote?: I might have tried cropping out the trees .. .just to give a complete sky look .. rather than a ground up approach .. but that is only an option .. your crop is great.
Summary: Great work .. awesome and congrats on the top 10.

Excellent. Hope this does well. My fav. so far. The angle makes these lines interesting. Nice colour. If it didnt have the thing in the middle(looks like glare) i'd give it a 10.
... or beauty, depends on who is watching. Some say the same for windmills, but I will rather look at windmills than coal fired powerstations and black smoke!
Nice picture, love the softness of the gradient horizon ...
The composition is too artistic to be called visual pollution. I like the diagonal lines, they create an energy that conrasts with the smooth serenity of the sunrise ( sunset?)
I really like how the cables bring an abstract element to this picture all by themselves and how they brake up what otherwise is negative space. Nice colors as well!
