This one I don't "get" at two levels.

- I don't understand the point of the monochrome sky with color 
land/foreground. But that's simply a matter of art/taste, which I 
wouldn't have commented on except for:

- Assuming the exercise is worth doing, isn't it worth doing well? The 
bright band along the horizon where the two parts don't match/overlap 
properly is obvious and distracting even at the small size and just 
awful at the larger sizes. This still isn't very good at a large size, 
the rather random cut line and extreme differences across the line make 
it hard to fix, but at least gives some idea how it could look.
