Support -- The sunset is not the subject, only the lighting for it. I just happened to see this after photographing some New Forest ponies. Robert of Ramsor (talk) 00:17, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Oppose Yes, nice. I don't like the composition with the cropped center tree and the distracting undefined boughs in the lower half. Silhouettes of trees can be very nice and impressive but this picture hasn't a surpassing expression, sorry --Richard Bartz (talk) 00:51, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
I have several variants, but the uncropped tree is too dead-centre. Also with more dramatically red sky, but this is darker and loses some foreground detail which is present in the lighter version in what comes over in the thumbnail as an all black foreground. The tree was amongst gorse, on which the ponies were grazing. I will replace with uncropped tree and invite comment. Robert of Ramsor (talk) 09:06, 9 January 2009 (UTC) Now done - difference is very slight - I have one with the tree looking more distant, but I thought the higher definition on the branches would be better.
