white mountains Alpine Silhouette

The sunset wasn't as brilliant as I would have liked but the tree

added more interest than I thought it would. What do you think?

Personally I think the image would have been a lot more striking without the tree, though it does add a sort of interest like you said. However I would have enjoyed the simplicity of the rolling silhouetted hills and the sunset alone.

I also wonder what it would have looked like without the tree. With the tree I think it is still an interesting photo, but those colors are so wonderful the tree almost gets in the way of them and draws me away form the red and yellow light.
