This is really pretty. I think I only have one suggestion really to make on how this could appeal more to my personal tastes.
I would like to see this with less black at the bottom. Since it really doesn't add to the shot in my opinion, I see no need to have so much of it. Maybe crop off just 1/2 of the blackness and that would be enough to bring our eyes out of the dark and up to the beauty.
The angle is good, I don't mind the large clump of weeds being right in the middle. I think that gives us a bit of ground to kind of point towards the sky and say "hey...looky over there".
I wonder if the focus seems just a tad soft. Like the brush isn't really as sharp as I think it could be. They sky is very nicely done however. Great colors, and the small patch of clouds in the upper left is a great touch. I don't think it would have the same beauty without the clouds there.
Quite pretty. We don't seem to have nice sunsets here. Good find. ~Heather~

Nice colors. I think it would have been more interesting, compositionally, if the tallest patch of trees was further to the left, though.

Great colour gradation in the sky. Crop out some of the back at the botto (rule of thirds be damned! :-)

Comment by tomzinho:
very nice shot. playing with the contrast and gamma might have brought some of the colors out a bit more.

Wasn't there another shot . . . same clump of trees, same sunset, different time? Partners?
