i climbed over the wall and then tried to get as low as possible.

great catch, i don't know if i would have recognized it if the situation was reversed.

Wow... I was right about the location! This is a beautiful shot, and not the typical angle I've seen shots taken from up there. Great job!! :)

Lovely colors... I like the hint of green in the bottom that keeps the entire foreground from being a total silhouette. My first thought was that it looked like the escarpment in Thatcher Park in NY. I'll be back after voting to see where this was taken! :)

Good lighting. I would have moved the tree down to the bottom third though. The rule is you never want to have the sky and ground meet exactly in the center of a picture.

Nice colours in the sky and I like the silhouette of the tree but feel the image might work better with less green in the foreground (MHO)

Very pretty colors in this. I think though, that between the subject of the tree, the foreground green grass, and the multiple colors in the sky and background, it just is a bit overwhelming to the solitude and peace that you are trying to create. Maybe if this was in black and white? I think it is actually the beauty of the color that is distracting to the sense of zen.
