Comment from Kevin Williams
This is a really nice photo you have captured here. The sun rising above the horizon with the blue and purple sky is eye-appealing. The tree silhouettes add to the overall positive image you have captured. Well done.

Gorgeous. Love that dark blue... On the verge of purple. And the fire orange at the horizon. Then there are the trees. They are bare and almost look as if they are dancing as the sun goes down. Beautiful!

Love it. The deep moody colors are excellent. The sharpness is nice and the composition is well done. There are some dust or dirt spots in the sky that are distracting hence the 4.5 star rating. Nice work.

You've captured a really beautiful image here with the setting sun slipping over the horizon, casting a golden orange glow in the purple/blue sky and the silhouettes of the trees and shadows creating great contrast. Excellent lighting and focus. Lovely composition. Suzanne

I always wondered if these trees are dead or just dormant. A nicely composed shot with a great diffraction star from the small aperture. The great contrast and saturated colors make this one very striking.
