I submitted this with the hope of getting decent score. But I'm surprised with the end result. 6.6+ is more than what I expected. My PB. :)
@ Bear_Music: No way. I never had that kind of visualization on this pic as you commented. After reading your comment I can visualize the drama. :) Thank you very much.
Thanx all for the votes and comments.

Wonderful finish! Congrats on personal best. Regarding the "story line", I find that a lot of times we don't actually realize what we've put into a picture until someone else points it out, but nevertheless we've been attuned to it subliminally and that's why we liked the picture... Congrats on your personal best!
On my first pass through, I yawned at this one and gave it a 5; "another sunset silhouette, next please!"
But upon review, I see a LOT more. I have NO idea how much of this you put in intentionally, and how much of it is just my "read", but it works:
I see, on the left, a father lecturing a child, with upraised arm and pointing finger, hair electric with anger. I see in the center that child, hunched and cowering. I see on the right another child huddling in her mother's embrace as they watch the father dressing down the middle child.
I don't mean any of this in a "domestic violence" way, I'm not getting negative vibes, I just see a prototypical family scene and I am much amused. Anthropomorphic as all get out. Well done. Bump to 8.
Great colours through the sky. the centred composition though makes this look a little more plain that it is. A landscape crop, removing the large area of blue sky and therefore showing more colour and ofsetting the trees could have worked here.
