I really liek the colors of the sky, although the sun seems a bit too bright...

I like the idea of this image. Trees with sinuous branches make great photography subjects and silhouettes make great foreground interest items for sunsets.

There are things that will impact this image's score. Though not terribly small this image would benefit if it were larger and that the added part showed more sky and clouds. Color processing could bring out more drama in the sky and, though you have no control over it, the telephone or power lines in the background are a distraction. Overall the claityof the image is not as good as it could be.

The biggest scoring impact will be that many voters will not see this as a low-key image because it has more tonality in the midtones than in the shadows and will vote it lower because of it.

interesting tree but not quite low key enough. The bottom third could be cropped. In a different challenge I would probably score a point higher.

Nice tree silhouette...

the powerlines spoil this, other than that it is an OK shot, but that's all, OK...

low keyed silhouette, i'd preferred it off-center
