I like your treee in the foreground, in relation to the smaller trees and mountainous region in the background. Natural, without over saturating the colors... yes, I like it!

A lovely, classic shot. The clouds or vapor trail at left steals my focus just a tad. Lovely work! 9

you've set a serene mood with your use of light and color. the trees in the distance create a lot of interest and perspective. One of my ribbon picks this challenge

Sometimes a single tree can be a bit boring...but not in this case, ITs a great photo that has alot of personality...nice one.

a very nice image, although the vapour trail on the left is far too distracting

Nice composition, I moght have been tempted to crank up the saturation a little though. Good Luck, Todd. 7.

I was going to do this type of shot. Nice execution and great but subtle colors.

Oh...I like this one very much. I like how I can see the background lite up slightly with the tree being complety black. Beautiful! My favorite so far.

Fantastic view. I would not have included the vertical cloud (contrail?) on the left, it makes a much more stiking scene without it.

I like the shot, but the subject is not that interesting...the mountain silhouettes are the strongest part of this image.

Very nice, strange cloud on the left

I did something the same....Yours turned out very well I took about a 100 shots as the sun was setting...There is something about a tree in the sky that looks like it was etched with a lazer..... Great job

Sky is nice - shape of the tree is nice. The white cloud on the left edge draws yoiur eye over there.

Clear clean shot. I think the contrail on the left could go....it pulls the eye from the tree the main subject. Not adding to the over all photo. Good entry, hope you do well.

Very nice shot and the tree is a good find! With spot editing being allowed I would have hurt the vertical cloud at the left - it tends to steal the eye.

Good crisp image with nice graduation in the contrast..cropping out what looks like a vapour trail would have made it perfect for me.
really nice image...9
