    Hi Chris, lovely sky; too much negative space in the foreground. I would make a pano.
    Cheers, Jay

    The sun is gorgeous! I have never seen a sun look like that, I must live in the wrong place! I agree with Jay that a pano crop is the way to go.

    Christopher,

    That is a great looking sun and I like where you have it also clearing the land. I agree that you need much less space at the bottom. All you interest lies with the sun and the tree silhouettes. A shorter focal length would have been good to allow more of the trees to show. As presented, I find the clipping of the main trees (especially the large one on right) cramping the image. You also had a nice vertical image of the large tree and sun by itself.
