Nice shot, I really like the colors. It looks like its going to rain the next day. Composition is good and the light behind the tree looks great. I like the shadow that it casts of the tree which goes towards the viewer and straight out of the image!

Great detail and tones in a difficult lighting situation, Still, it comes off to me as a good snapshot. Fixing the tilt would have helped some.

I like the shadows, but you need to watch your horizons... DPC voters demand strong basics like fixing tilting horizons.

Good representation of contre-jour as the light source is clearly visible. There appears to be a severe tilt to the horizon that detracts. I think the different lighting available shows different degrees of warmth. The street light is a very blue light and really contrasts badly with the warm incandesent lighting on the houses. You did a great job of exposing the tree where the branches add some great texture to this photo.

Great exposure control and haunting trees. Horizon is off however.
