Comment by Dr.Confuser:
Somehow I am not feeling the notion of a still life here, certainly not in the classical notion of an arranged composition. Fails to meet the challenge, IMO.

Ohhhhh, I think we have a challenge, lol. I saw a photo with the same concept Last rays of hope before darkness, I think. I still remember it 'cause it was nice, but this I'm afraid is nicer. The contrast of light and dark is shaper...literally. The light cuts through and is battling to remain.

Comment by Teafran:
To be truly effective, sunsets need to be detailed, crisp and sharp to be effective and have some pop or wow factor. In this instance, the colors are interesting and the sun angle allows for a longer exposure time and/or HDR treatment. What ruins the effect is the trees - they add nothing to the image and in fact obscure some of the more intresting features of the sun set. There are two ways to do these images with this type of foreground - either a double exposure to increase the details or find a different angle with which to take the image that only uses one dark foreground feature that does not obscure the sunset.
