Pretty colors. Personally thinking that the composition might have been improved by a slightly bolder representation of the dead trees by being closer. Or post challenge a little burn to bring out the contrast against the background of the center photo. Nice Shot!

Thanks to all for the comments:)

I must throw out this disclaimer: It looked a lot better before I shrunk it down to 640px. I submitted this image before i understood anything about workflow, and i unwittingly saved, saved, and resaved upon the same JPEG over and over w/ progressive dodge/burns, not knowing that it would KILL the quality, especially so when stepped down to a smaller scale.

LOVE THIS LOVE THIS LOVE THIS !
Looks like a infrared capture with some really good pp. The clouds really stand out and I like the two toned sky. Gives a surreal effect. The birds at the bottom give this picture a classic vintage feel. Wonderful job. 10
Btw...I live on Long Island too. North shore.
