   Those are incredible colors. The shape of the tree is very anthromorphic.

   I wish you could tell more about the scene, is it sunset time that is giving rise to the extreme highlight and things like that.

   lovely scene…… the interesting pattern of the tree and the contrast between the right and left sky are the eye-catching part…..

   Fotografia muito bem tirada! Gosto. O sol intenso a contrastar com
   um azul mais suave, yin-yang, uma árvore ‘arrastada’ pela força da luz de um género de nascer-do-sol de uma paisagem típica talvez de um país nórdico em que planícies de neve e gelo co-habitam. E mais sentimentos e refleções se podem tirar e absorver desta imagem. Muito bem mais uma vez. Parabéns ao Fotógrafo!

   It is good the way the color of the tree is balanced in the cloud. Well done.

    Looks like the tree is blinded by the sun. Awaken from a night of sleep. Great picture.

    A great shot indeed ! It looks like the sun doesn’t send light, he blows it onto the scene, so hard that the tree is leaning. The tree presents some really interesting features - from the color of its leaves to its intricate branch architecture. And the sun - the sun is just amazing there. You can’t really see it but you know it’s there because of the bright light. You know what it reminds me of ? St Paul on the road to Damascus ! At any rate. The intense light is drawing very nice shapes in the sky if you look closely - and then as you move to the left, the light fades away to leave a dark night-like sky. It’s a really amazing shot you got there Cornel. Excellent work.

    I absolutely love the picture, but I was wondering what Yin and Yang meant. Also on your next picture with earthshots.com I would put a description of the picture, like the other photographers do. I think people really enjoy reading those.

    I agree with Age, it is good to know where, when, what. Great shot.

    Powerful image, but also delicate in its balance. Wow. Wish I had beat you to this spot! Beautiful work, Cornel.

    Nice shot. Good composition, but the blown sky on the right spoils it a bit for me.

    Try a polarizer to reduce sky blow out.
