This is a good photo. It tells a story. You did good.
So why does /p/ hate it?
OP, it's worth noting that a current leftoid instagram and "woke right" (authoritarian socially conservative commie) trend is hating anything with dynamic range because it's associated with wealthy white peoples photography. AKA "boomer photography". Boomer just means successful straight white people now.
Wealthy white people aka "boomers" can afford cameras that do not have to select between white sky and black foreground, and can do things that zoomers oddly can't like edit raws on a computer (zoomers call this "wasting hours editing every photo"). That is all that's pissing them off. It's associated with successful straight white people.
Most of the advice you're receiving is tinged by this. Award winning photographers post "HDR boomer slop", aka white person with money photography. the internet fags hate it but they're not the ones handing out the awards. These people literally have wealthy white guys with nicer equipment than them living in their heads rent free. All they do all day long is complain about wealthy white peoples cameras
>SNOY IS SHIT!
>NIKON IS GEARFAG!
>CANONBLOB!
>FUJI OVERPRICED!
They will also shit on anything with bokeh, anything that's too high resolution, etc. /p/ would literally seethe at most photos that actually win awards and sell for $$$$. They even hate rhein II and burtynsky. They hate annie leibovitz. They hate successful white guys like stephen shore. They worship weird and impoverished asian photographers mostly.
Now watch as they prove me right and say something about "gearfags" (also another word that is basically just a proxy for wealthy straight white people) or god forbid, post antisemitism.
