Comment from Lucien van Oosten
Some interesting aspects to the main image, not sure why the background of the sunset is not repeated somewhere else as it is to me it acts as a detractor rather then an enhancing of the image. I think the images are okay but they lack continuity to me. I think the background needed to be brought into the main image more succinctly.

Thank you for your generous review. You are right the background and picture wasn't quite right. It's because I had to post an early and unfinished version driven by some computer trouble and the deadline. I have posted the final now. May you have another look if your time allow it.
