I like it but I'm not absolutely crazy about it. I think you could past a warped text layer reading "Fort Lauderdale" and it would look like your run of the mill postcard. I do like your composition of the trees - depth and height.

I live in Miami and see these pink sunsets often. And you probably run into the same problem I do - Florida is flat which leads to semi-boring photos unless you are on the water.

I think it's very pretty. The only problem I have is there is no place for me to be.
In this kind of photo, like looking at water, I like a place to stand.

I loved it as it was unfolding, but then I saw that it had no foundation. So, I agree with DAMphyne 100%.

Your exposure and color balance look very good, and there is sufficient interest. The lack of a foundation kills the composition for me.

ditto, the silhouette effect is beautiful and well defined, but when i look at the picture, i have an overwhelming need to pan down a bit to get some ground in view. I assume the ground was a good bit farther down and you had no choice.
