nice work, I really like the silhouette of this rugged tree against the beautiful strong contrasting colours in the sunrise, the tree is perfectly placed and well balanced in the frame, very eye catching
image , good luck in the contest.

Interesting barren silhouette tree you've captured here. The composition is on point and lighting is perfect for the time of day you took this. Great shot. Thanks for sharing

This works for the contest and I like the silhouette effect against the son and helps the sky is such a strong color as well,think although the tree is central is works for this,good one...Brian

This is beautiful! Love the starkness of this silhouetted,barren tree against the gorgeous sunrise,the lovely orange glow slowly heating up the cool lavender morning sky.This makes such a stunning initial impact;it is a fantastic entry for the contest and should be an extremely strong contender,wish you the very best with this brilliant image!

The features of the barren tree are striking. The dark silhouette emphasizes the beautiful colors of the sunset sky remarkably. How darkness and light contradict is impressive. The photo is well focused and has good depth. The composition is balanced and framed well.

Quite a stark, yet attractive image posted here from a location that I have no experience of! Your fine composition is very striking and attractive. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well taken!

A great entry for the contest. This has a nice abstract look and feel to it.

The jagged lines of the bare tree branches are well contrasted by the soothing pastels of the background.

Nice in camera work with the colors. An artistic as well as a dramatic image.

Best of luck in the contest ~ Steve

This is a beautiful entry for the contest, the single tree stands in silhouette against the gorgeous colors of the morning sky, I love the vivid orange moving up to the lavender tones , the tree is interesting in its structure, it's branches are bare, I like your placement of the tree in the frame. This is well focused, the image is sharp and clear, well managed lighting , the colors appear natural. Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in the contest!

A very strong and apt entry for the contest. The crocked and naked branches of the tree look awesome against the sunrise! The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good luck!

A beautiful image that captures the solitary tree perfectly. I like the way it was silhouetted against the brilliant sunrise. A very fine composition that should be a strong favorite in this contest. Best of luck.
