A visit from the critique club :)
Hey Ben, I think this photo is excellent. I think this has very strong composition. The diagonal curves in the hills are excellent. What's even better is that you have the dominant top line going into the smaller one on the right which in turn leads to the solitary tree placed with the rule of 3rds. The sun is great for color and I particularly love the muted color in the hill towards the back.
You also did not place the horizon in the center giving the photo more strength. I like the detail in the foreground as well.
One thing I do think could be done a little better is exposure. It seems that you underexposed this a little bit (intenionally?). On one hand it plays well with the composition giving you specific cues to follow with your eye but in the end, when you arrive at the final destination of the tree it looks a bit dark. Perhaps a slightly longer exposure would have resulted in a much stronger foreground. |

| Oh my, this has many elements that I really enjoy! Colorful sunset, neat sillhouette of a twisted tree. As I ponder this shot, it seems to me this would be a very hard shot to "get just right". I think you did about as good as possible with this lighting and subject matter. I want the tree to "stand out", well it does (I always want more!). This one is tough to score! 7 Swash |

| If the foreground have come out a little better, this compo would be a real contender. 7 |

| I really love how the tree stands out from the hill. Subtle, but still very obvious. The sun peeking out really adds the color that this shot needs. i like the pinkish/orange tint to the shot. The angle and framing/cropping is excelent. I like the way the hill in the front sets an angle. Focus and clarity are great. That tree is just awesome. Great shot. Good luck in the challenge. |

| very nice but i htink it would have been even better with the tree silhouted against the sky (cliched maybe but would look better than the hill background I think) |

| Overall it's very nice... but maybe should have lighted up the foreground a little bit. |

Congratulations on a sunset shot where you can actually see the landscape, and not just a big black blob!
Composition is great, I don't think it could be better for this scene. It suffers a little through lack of light, but manages to portray a mood. Nice work. |
