    I like the HDR effect in that it brought out detail in the tree, My only suggestion would to be crop some of the sky out. Nice work.

    Well done...nice capture. I too would start with cropping a bit of the top off. Great colors....looks like a forest fire....kind of demonic. Good shot.

    The sky looks good, I agree with removing the grey at the top and concentrating on the colours.
    I don't like the lighter halo around the tree, really unnatural.
    Is it because it was windy and the tree was moving?

    I don't think it should be cropped at all. The firey sunset needs the dark contrast.
