Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico. The cloudless sunrise wasn't providing much excitement so I had to improvise. I'd love to hear what you all think. Thanks.

Elliot, I applaud your attempt to try something creative and I like the concept. Perhaps if you crop off a bit more from the right that would help show off this unique set of branches against the sky.

Elliot,
This is a simple and yet effective and very nice silhouette. We can't always have those dramatic skies at sunrise/set, so I think you did a nice job filling up most of the frame. I also like that you were still able to show what bit of sunrise there was. No real nits from me. I could take or leave the right side as Erik was suggesting cropping - but on the other hand, I like the continuation of the wildly formed main branch. I think this works well. Nice image.
