Nice color, but the trees are in silhouette, and the challenge said to try to avoid that. Also, it's a little grainy

The colours are wonderful and the silhouetted trees are great, but the shot seems to be leaning to the left, the trees are not vertical. Also the telegraph pole in my opinion detracts from the shot. Try moving position to eliminate unwanted detail from the shot.

It seems you've missed the challenge as the trees are completely silhouetted.
Also, the pic is tilted left.

Beautiful colors, but too much of a silhouette to meet the challenge IMO

it looks like it is a silhouette more then backlight.

did not follow the rules, subject can not be a silhouette.
Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR

um, silhouettes? the rules said not to use any....Great pic with lots of potential though...just an idea: crop vertically on the left of the pic....so maybe chop off the right 2-thirds of the photo. The powerlines are very distracting. Great colours though.

nice silhouette

One of the rules of this challenge was not to make silluettes. You did. And the picture is badly tilted. Plus the wires kick away the nice feeling.
Canon EOS-60D
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS

Nice colors, but the tilt to the left, the noise, and the power lines really detract... and the palms are silhouetted, which the challenge instructions specifically state not to use. With a few minor, basic edits, this would be very pretty.
Canon EOS-30D
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro

Looks a little over-sharpened. Reducing it would prevent the haloing around the trees and reduce the harshness of the noise.
Canon EOS-5D
Canon EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM

I like the image but had to knock off a point because the rules state "the subject must not become a silhouette because of the backlighting."
Fujifilm FinePix E500 Zoom

No silhouettes. But very pretty! Rotation to the right & no power lines would improve this one a lot.
