Just saw this sunset yesterday 05/09/05 and thought of the challenge. I didn't have time to get the UV Filter on so I will probably get slammed for overexposing. Oh well. At least I like it.

I know that the trees are silhouetted in the image, but the image composition puts much more emphasis on the setting sun rather than on the silhouette, which was the target of this challenge. Wicked sunset. Must have been awesome to witness.

Nice colors albeit a bit blurred and the composition in general doesn't have much of interesting contrasts

I'd have cut the top 1/4 off. As is, the exact centring feels a bit too stable. I'm also left wondering how it would have been if the branches had been silhouetted against the sun a bit. That might have made the photo a bit more dynamic. 5

Nice Sunset / silhouette. Could be sharper, but nice job on other aspects.

Exposure is well handled, but as a "subject" the trees aren't really strong enough.
