This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: The use of Rule of thirds is shown in full force here, drawing the eye right to the tree.

color: amazing color, the oranges are exceptionally vibrant, and have an amazing gradient feel to them.

contrast: sharp and clear contrast of the blacks against the oranges, as well as the tree against the sky

focus: perfect focus in my opinion, very sharp

depth of field:the slight depth of field this has is, in my opinion beneficial. The small pieces of grass in the lower right corner add just a smidgen of depth

lighting: beautiful silhouette

other: I really enjoy this image the way it is. I thought it would have placed higher than this. I hope you enjoy this image as much as I have had the pleasure of critiquing it. If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me anytime.
-Kari Ann

Good, but could be greatly improved (IMHO) by cropping roughly-along the top of the bright orange area. This would lop the top of the tree, but I believe that it would be worth the deletion to take away the darkness on top. Hope that helps. :)

Great silhouette, lovely colours. Not the most indicative of the theme.

I don't know why I like this. It isn't that it shows hot per se but the tree is beautiful and different than anything I have seen.
