Beautiful tones similar to a couple I've shot recently, but your's has much less noise. Excellent sharpening to maintain all the twigs without haloing.
How pretty, the trees, the sunset, the quiet, peaceful feeling. Ah, can I come pull up a chair? This is a wonderfully composition and the corpping is verll well done, there seems to be some lines in the upper right corner on my screen, not sure where they are from but it's not too distracting. At first glance this shot looks a bit dark so it scored a 7 but after coming back and really looking it goes up to a 9, a tad brighter on the right and you would have scored a 10 :)
Colour range and contrast are superb. The crop is a little tight (vertically, for what could be a panorama) and a little high for my sense of a perfected composition. The horizon, also, reveals a very slight counterclockwise tilt. Having noted that, this image remains one of two of my favourites in this challenge. I say "Grace".
Lovely shot. The way it fades to black at the top and the bottom is visually appealling to me, and the colors are quite nice. This makes me think of something exotic like the Australian Outback!
Good capture - real stillness in the detail of those leaves. The Shaping of the light of the evening(?) against the trees is good too. I'd love to see this cropped to perhaps just above the horizon and to contain just the silhouettes of the trees - I'd certainly have played with that idea myself. Good stufff though.
Wow! The first photo of the challenge that has stirred some emotion. This is a breathtaking scene. What a great capture. Please make prints available. I must have.

My favorite "nature" shot this challenge. I think I'd like to see it from a little earlier or a little later, with more red and less blue in the sky. The band of red along the horizon seems too defined.
