Beautiful

However the red skies are at a distracting position in the image. The image would have been better without them, or with them in a place where they became a part of the scene.

I like how the tree is only in front of the golded part of the sky and "reaches" for the next layer. That's what makes the composition work, if it wasn't for those red skies.

Very nice opportunity, rigth time and place, again. But image has some composition problems. Almost half of the frame is dark and almost offering nothing. Cropping 3/4 of dark area will push the comfortable feeling, which is supressed with darkness there. The main subject is nice, replacement to the 1/3 would improve here. SOme of the branches are not in sharp focus, suggesting hand held or long exposure. Especially in this kind of pictures long exposure means a special effect to the background (sky), but no effect on the foreground and main subject which are going to be dark anyway.
