Why irrilevant?

Hi, a few days ago one of my shots (see attachment) was defined "irrilevant" for the article "Dawn".
Several of my shots have been deleted so far due to various reasons and I've always agreed with the decision.
In this case I am a little surprised, since the shot was with no doubt taken during sunrise (EXIF: December 10th 2011, h.7:26:11AM, Miami) and I would like to know if there's some other reason I don't catch.
Thanks,
Max

First thing to check is that it really was in the right article, and not one of the other dawn articles.

Was it taken with a long lens? The sky seems to be out of focus - which is the relevant part, the dawn sky.
I find the people in the foreground distracting, because we can only just see them.
Also, the composition is not so strong - horizon is very low, can't see the ground, people are chopped in half, and sea gull is touching the edge of the frame.
Hi Max, I had the same problem some week ago: dawn is not sunrise: during dawn the sun is below the horizon. You have to put the photo in the sunrise article
cheers :-)
