Great composition although perhaps a crop off the top would make it a more interesting panoramic. Love the colors and this one is a winner.

Very nice! Beautiful colors! Great placement of the tree, off center . the lines on the ground and especially the the clouds provide lines that lead us directly to the subject. Very nice work.

Love the perspective in using the lone tree in this,the sunset alone would have made a good photo,but I can see that you put some thought into this one,good strong contest entry,nature at its best...Brian

I think the colors in this image are beautiful! Your framing of the tree is artistic, and the lacy appearance to the branches looks great against the sky colors. Where is MN did you shoot this? I like the clear open field and how the direction of the landscape draws the eyes to the horizon so smoothly. I think this one is a wall hanger :)

    Wow thank you so much for the 6 star rating and wonderful review. I greatly appreciate it. This was taken near Harmony, MN. We are in the very SE corner of Minnesota....LOTS of corn fields :)

    That is super nice. It is difficult to find a wide open space for good sunset and sunrise shots here in Brooklyn Center :)
Comment from Sange


Love the painterly look of the colorful sky, the lone silhouette tree with lace like branches set off to the right and the fine exposure and clarity.
A true Be Still and know moment.
Well done ;)

Yes it is indeed a beautiful sunset! I absolutely love the tree in silhouette nicely placed to the right of the setting sun, very nice angle of shot, beautiful gold at the horizon, pink tones above the gold and moving up onto the blue sky, this is of course, well focused, the image is clear, exposure/ night lighting is well managed! Well composed and presented! Happy New Year!
