Wow Tom this was one of my favorites for the challenge, I gave you a 10, nice to see it was yours! Good finish, I am sure if the left side of the image had been open like the right side you would have seen even more 10's.
7 - Beautiful colors. Like your composition, although wonder about variations, but minor and your call anyway. The frame, maybe a little less vibrant, but it does work.
There is something quite beautiful about this image, bet it was nice to watch. You have managed the exposure really well and I actually like the central placing of the sun. I am trying to work out whether cropping the right side to the tree would have improved this shot...difficult one! Also not sure about the border.
