This is sooooooooo pretty and the silhouette is wonderful. So is the lighting the coloring and the mood. There is a problem here though. I'm sure you've already heard about it several times. The horizon is tilted. I do it a lot myself. There is a solution though. Just rotate the image and then trim off the excess. This would have scored very high if it weren't for the one flaw. Nice job anyway though. I like it. Good luck in the challenge! Grayce aka Gracious

Excellent title. Photo is soft on focus, and exhibits an unfortunate nuber of JPEG artifacts. And, it could be rotated clockwise by about 3-5 degrees.

Comment by Kavey:
I like this shot and the sky is just beautiful. I'd like the far bank to be horizontal in the frame. Because there is such richness of detail - the silhouettes, the sky and the branches, this doesn't really feel like a shot with negative space to me. That's not to say a sunset silhouette couldn't be, but this one just has so much going on.
I appreciate that this is according to my personal definition of negative space and your mileage may vary ;)

The horizon is running a bit uphill from left to right. IMO, its a little too busy with the sun. It is a nice shot however

This photo has potential, but your horizon isn't level. Also I would have tried several different compositions of this scene to frame it better.
