my sunset plan didn't work because the sun was setting at the wrong angle so I had to wake up at 5 in the morning so I can get the sunrise instead. well, just my luck, at the day of the deadline, fog was covering monterey. but i thought it seemed to work out just fine. the fog made the blueness of the background glow instead of just being the sky. all i can say is that i better get a good score on this because i had to wake up early on a sunday morning.

The red beam in the bottom right corner of the image distracts me from an otherwise excellent image.

I would have liked to see more of the fence, it would have also been nice if the light on the left could have been avoided.

I'm not sure what that is in the loser right corner, but this picture would be outstanding if you could have taken that out.

I love the tree sillhouettes - I dont think the right hand elements and the foreground add a lot, and the blue is just too blue! Personally I think I would have composed the shot a little further from the left - good luck

Strange shot. Hope it does better than I suspect it will. Well seen!

I like the composition of this shot quite a bit. The trees could be just a tad bit darker and would fit into the silhouette without ANY exceptions. IMO, you have a nice silhouette here, but you may get some comments about the blacks being a little bit blacker. Great color in the sky.

You've got such lovely and rich colours here. The composition works for me, too as both sets of left-right lines compliment each other well. My only quibble is with the border and with the left tree clipping the border. It's screaming out for space all around it. 7

the rait on the right totally distracts from this shot....if you cropped it to just the tree it'd be surperb

Perhaps there is a way to hide that light behinde the poles of the fence? It draws the eye away from the tree. I like the light on the ground, the purplepink contrasts well with the blue. Nice subject for a silhouette, though the crop is a bit tight in the upper left.
