from me in Posthumous Ribbons

This is just awesome, the silhouettes are fantastic and the low pov is great. I expect the 1's, 2's and 3's were from people who say it wasn't a landscape as I can see no other reason for such low scores!! The colour of the sky also enhances this shot. This should have been in the top 10 IMHO

This is one of my favorites. The silhouettes and perspective do such a nice job of making me feel like I'm there watching this scene. Gorgeous sky too.

Beautiful sunset. I really like the silhouette. This will be even better if you make it more to a horizontal composition rather than a nearly square composition.
