Okay I have adjusted the dark sky at the top of the image in my new version. I can understand that, that needs improvement. But other then that. Can someone PLEASE explain me why it gets so many 1 stars... How on earth is this photo a Snapshot....? At least give me some feedback on why you think it is a snapshot. Mean i am open for improvements but just pressing one star on an image that is clearly not just one press on a button on a phone is just silly...

To start with it is a three exposure blend. That by itself is already not the definition of a Snapshot

Photography is subjective and on top of that, this is the internet. lol Don't take the opinions of strangers too harshly/seriously. Focus on the critique from those you respect.

Hey Eric. You are completely right. I don't care that it get one stars in a way that I feel it hurts me or my work.

What I do care about is people following the rules and regulations. And by the description of the image you can already read it is on no way a 1 star. But it seems people don't want to be helpful to their peers but just want to press that one star for no reason... at least man up and give a reason why. That way if it is justified we could actually learn from each other... that's my point :) :).

Everyone gets a lot of one stars because people try to down vote everyone else to win. The Highest images are usually like 3.9 when they should really be around 4.5.
