So after everyones comments and suggestions, I have played around with the processing, plus managed to get a new shot in there. Looking for opinions on these. Thanks in advance.

Edit: ADDED ONE MORE PIC-SEE POST #3

1. Original sunset tree shot

    Karin, the strongest thing I keep seeing is a classic sunset image of #2.

    I really really really like the grove of trees in the BG

    Great candidates. Love the colors in #1, but not wild about the tilted horizon or the position of the lower branch. #2 is probably the strongest, but if possible, it would be nice to lighten the ground under the horizontal branch a little more to make that branch stand out. Otherwise I find it harder to find a point of interest in the right half of the photo, IMHO. There are some sensor dust that you might want to clone out just left of the tree. Overall, however, they are beautiful shots with just some minor nitpicky details.

    I can see what Dan means about the apparent sensor dust but that will be an easy clone job. clap.gif

    Thank you so much to all who have responded, it is all so helpful to me. I didn't even notice the sensor dust until you pointed it out, so thank you Dan, I think I have cleaned it up, and I did do a little lightening in the foreground of the lower right as you suggested too.
    You guys are great!

    I'm liking #2 a whole lot. The play of the trees in the bg along the horizontal branch keeps me in the photo for longer.
