Searching for a cactus that had arms shaped in such a way that I could frame the sun setting - took quite some time. I stood on top of the 4X4 - way on top - to get to the correct height that I needed. Photoshop work: I used Image-->adj-->color balance-->red+100,yellow+50. I used healing tool to get rid of some 'bugs' or 'birds' that apeared as small blk specks.

good timing, but you need to control the colours a bit, but over all, it's nice

I guess it meets the challenge. Barely IMO but it does. However I find the frame and subject are not perportionate and there is more background the subject. I like the sun setting and the crispness/clarity of the silohouette but the unpreportionate sizes is to much. Good luck in this challenge. <6>

should have been vertically cropped, the left saquaro is distracting
