Hi from the Critique Club!
In line with the challenge, I have looked at the original image too, which I loved by the way;)You have produced two wonderful images that would grace any wall;)
This retake has a totally different feel due the different lighting conditions; your first one having lovely soft orange hues and tones, and this one those gorgeous blues. The line of orange/yellow/red on the horizon contrasts beautifully against the blue, and is picked up in the rocks in the foreground.
The composition is a bold choice as you place your horizon in the middle, cutting the image in two. I am wondering if you did this to avoid replicating the first image too closely? I would have loved to have seen the horizon placed higher as in the first one. The horizon also looks a tad off to me, which seems to emphasize the cutting in half element. Don't get me wrong, it's lovely as it is, but I think the colours were different enough for you to get away with copying your other image's placement of the horizon,and perhaps have upped your already excellent score;)
The tree is wonderful and dramatic, I just wish it were a little closer to the foreground and filled the frame more, I guess I'm just greedy;)
You're obviously an expert at finding the right aperture and shutter speed for these lovely evening shots, and the image is clean and crisp.
A beautiful take two, can't wait to see 3 and 4;)

| Great color and positioning of the lone tree/branch. I would have cropped out the bottom part of the shot, but that's just my preference. |

Don't know the original so I don't know wheither you did better or worse.
Colours are good but it is a bit irritating that the tree bends at the horizon. Using rule of thirds I would have preferred to have the horizon a bit lower or higher, not in the middle of the picture. That is just me! |
