Strikingly red, overpoweringly red. I like the effect, maybe a touch over the top, but it still looks good. I would have thought the palm leaves would have not been so visible in the sun corona, that's my favorite part. 8 Swash
This could be one of those 'webshots' wallpaper pics! Great work. I almost (slightly almost) don't care too much for it, yet it draws you in. Reminds of a Florida postcard. Great work! Ruthann
This may be a great shot, but if so, it's over my head. (Which is not your fault of course) The first thing that popped into my mind when I saw it was "too intense". I can't make out what the two poles in the foreground are (stop sign on left? Another sign on the right?) but I understand that you may not have MEANT for me to see them clearly. But it all went over my head I'm afraid.
It certainly relays the idea of extreme heat. I'd be interested in knowing how you blocked the red filter just for the sun and it's halo, and the few highlights, if you're comfortable sharing the information (crisa58@yahoo.com) There's a large-ish object intruding on the upper left to left middle. I wish it weren't there, that the palms were visible. But all in all a wonderful shot!
