I wish the background had more face time in this shot. It looks like there is some beautiful layers through the mist going on back there.

Voted earlier now coming back to leave some comments. Love the silhouette of the tree against the summer colors of the sky & desert mountains in the backdrop. The setting sun seems *caught* in the branches of the tree. The tree leans forward as it follows the undulating lines of the mountains in the background. As the summer sun sets it casts a warm glow that blankets the region but with it's setting comes a refreshing breeze that offers a welcome respite from the heat. This would make a lovely calendar shot btw:-)

This is beautifully subtle and soft. I'm giving it an extra point because I think maybe it needs me to.
