I liked too much the colors ... very rich ... I like oranges and blacks ... classical ... but I think the sun is over-exposed ... the tree between the camera and the sun is almost invisible ... and this is almost impossible to correct using photoshop, you risk to under- expose the blacks ...

This is a nice combination of trees and sky, but I think it would be better without the sun in the frame. In another 10 minutes or so the sun would be down and the intense hot spot would be avoided. True, the clouds would also move and that might be bad, but I really don't like the sun in this image.

I think the sun is a bit hot, but I wouldn't want it eliminated from the image. The trees are not interesting enough by themselves; the eye would just tend to wander back and forth looking for a focus of interest. I think the sun, even if a bit overexposed, provides a center of interest. I like the composition.
