That's a glorious sunset. The tree is a bit cramped, though: do you have a wider crop?

I agree Jeremy. Unfortunately the tree filled the frame plus some.

Bravo!

I'm not sure the extra that you added on the bottom helps make it better, just the extra space around the tree might have been good enough.

There are two beautiful images competing with one another ..... each of them would be a keeper -  one of the sky alone and one of the tree with a little bit of the sky with a bit of the bottom cropped out. All in all, a wonderful image.

Congratulations, all 3 versions show a stunning scene. But I actually prefer the first, as I think that bit of sky at the top that didn't make it into the others really adds something to the overall effect.

Awesome. I agree the tree is better with a little more room. Great image.

Cheated +1, is it really cheating if that's how we saw it?
