I am a lover of lone trees and this is exceptional because of the brilliant backdrop and placement.  Would also work as a pano with  a large crop of the upper sky.  My only nit is the framing in black.  It enlarges the ground area which has very little if any detail.

Mario, What a beautiful sunset. The overhead clouds look wonderful and i love the light and color over the horizon. Comp works great with the lone tree and bit of ground. The black frame isn't there in the large version so it looks fine across the bottom. Beautiful work!

Wonderful silhouette and sunset colors/clouds, I like the color transition in the clouds, well seen and well done.

Beautiful scene, Mario. I could see cropping the top to a pano, but it works really well as presented too.
