I can't find the pine. The colors seem over-saturated, and the scene lacks a clear subject. Recomposing the image to focus on either the rock formations or the wave would have improved the image. It's hard to tell with such a wide-angle shot, but this appears to have been oversharpened a bit.

Um, a strange feature of the voting screen, happens to me once in every thousand votes, but usually I notice and delete it. I didn't even voted 5 (but six). The picture seems oversharpened, I don't get the title and doesn't exactly correspond with the challenge description, but on the other hand, the general feeling is good as well as golden light... Still it seems below your standard, good luck next time.
Wow, that orange of the far coast really pops against the blue of the sky and water. Even the subtle orange in the distant clouds and the reflections in the cove. Very vibrant and harmonious.
I guess I don't get the title. Is there a pine in this pic? Not really a representation of the challenge either. It's a decent pic but will score low considering the challenge.
