I would have cut the picture in half vertically for more dramatic effect.

I think a little crisper focus on the tree would really have made a statement. Very nice colours and transition.

Just when you needed a Solitary Tree for the new challenge. If you can come up with this or a classic acacia tree on the veld, you will do well. As for this challenge, I like the colours.

Very cool composition! SO different from the usual landscape - I love the 'horizon' being replaced with the side of a cliff. The sillohutte of the tree is perfectly placed. Beautiful colors. 8 from me.
