 I pass this tree every morning and evening on my commute to and from work. Always thought it had a certain "wabi sabi" to it.

Post processing: cropped, rotated, levels, selective color, sharpened, ran it through neat image, and added border.

Critique Club Review:

Fantastic sunset! With the mist and fog, it almost looks like the sea is on fire.

Color, saturation and hue are excellent. Focus and depth of field are great.

For me, I might have liked it a bit better if the crop had been tighter. A little less sky above the tree, and trim some off the left, possibly even as tight as where the shore starts to rise in elevation at the left third of the frame. In these two area, the color starts to fade and/or go dark. There really isn't much there to hold interest and is not necessary to the story.

However, as your score shows. Either way this is a really nice picture. One I could see hanging on my wall. Congratulations on a well deserved top ten finish.

Does the tree make the sunset or does the sunset make the tree?
