Hi Lucy - I love that sky and color. The silhouetted branches work well too. My only suggestion would to crop off some of the very dark foreground or bring out some shadow detail. Just my 2 cents.

Quite a pretty sunset, Lucy (or at least the smoke makes it appear to be a sunset). I like the way the branches frame the scene. Eva has a point about the dark foreground, but it's not a major issue in my opinion.

This was a sunset, but the smoke made it look very different. The colors are slightly muted and hazy. I could not get any detail out of the dark area, as the haze just made it look noisy. I cropped this area. I hope this improves the image....thank you so much for your input.
