Beautiful shot. I like the outline of the trees and their placement in the frame.

Nice shot; it would have been cool if you could have taken it with the water "aglow" as it sometimes is just around that time (maybe earlier.)

Beautiful tones similar to a couple I've shot recently, but your's has much less noise. Excellent sharpening to maintain all the twigs without haloing.

How pretty, the trees, the sunset, the quiet, peaceful feeling. Ah, can I come pull up a chair? This is a wonderfully composition and the corpping is verll well done, there seems to be some lines in the upper right corner on my screen, not sure where they are from but it's not too distracting. At first glance this shot looks a bit dark so it scored a 7 but after coming back and really looking it goes up to a 9, a tad brighter on the right and you would have scored a 10 :)

What a poignant, apt and well-considered title for this rich and yet so minimal capture. Without this harmonizing addition (title), the image would place itself only a distance away from cliché. With it, the viewer is encouraged to consider him or herself.

Colour range and contrast are superb. The crop is a little tight (vertically, for what could be a panorama) and a little high for my sense of a perfected composition. The horizon, also, reveals a very slight counterclockwise tilt. Having noted that, this image remains one of two of my favourites in this challenge. I say "Grace".

Lovely shot. The way it fades to black at the top and the bottom is visually appealling to me, and the colors are quite nice. This makes me think of something exotic like the Australian Outback!

The three trees are like the HOly Trinity here, but in disguise! Wonderful use of silhouette. Marvelous and clear sunset shot!

Good choice making the trees the subject, rather than the sunset.

I really like the title. It fits the picture

beautiful sunset (or sunrise) colors......the silhouette of the trees adds so much interest to this...

Good capture - real stillness in the detail of those leaves. The Shaping of the light of the evening(?) against the trees is good too. I'd love to see this cropped to perhaps just above the horizon and to contain just the silhouettes of the trees - I'd certainly have played with that idea myself. Good stufff though.

Simply lovely! The title is wonderful, the trees communing, huddled at the edge of the water watching the beautiful light. 10

My favorite "nature" shot this challenge. I think I'd like to see it from a little earlier or a little later, with more red and less blue in the sky. The band of red along the horizon seems too defined.

Great use of back lighting, color, and composure!

I like the colors, but there seems to be a bit of noise/compression in the sky. I like the silhouettes of the trees. Good luck.
