such a cold atmosphere...
pity that the blur is big in my opinion...

but, christmas trees are diluted picture of а bare and sinister trees))

...any way I will a bit envious(not only about this work)...- to photo sunset\sunrise I must be or out of town...or up of town x)
but "up" is problematically - the highest building we have - one 24-flors living house)

I full heartedly agree with you, I love the sky in all its beautiful colours! It gives me a sense of union with the world... About the photo, I agree wth you that the trees make the photo look more interesting. Something is happening. I also like the fact the ground isn't flat, it adds a little bit of a dynamic feel. However, I cannot help but feel this photo is missing something, maybe seeing the sun, or one tree or house that stands out, just something to give this photograph a subject. Or maybe some birds taking off all at the same time. I understand you cannot really photograph what isn't there, my mind is just thinking about a nice subject to incorporate. My advice to you is: keep photographing things you find beautiful and interesting, because that way you will always take photos of things that are close to you as an artist, and you will grow as an artist, too.

Although you get good colours here, it is quite noticeable that the trees are quite blurry. To avoid this on a iPhone, ground yourself steady, so that you are the tripod for the phone, or even lay the phone on a bench or fence around, and then find good composition.

First, I would like to say a few words about the notion of "blurry": something being blurry does not depend on the kind of camera that you use. In the comment above you blame the lack of mega-pixels on your device for the blur in the picture. In fact, the two things have nothing to do with each other. Your image can be grainy because of a poor sensor, and apparently that's what you thought of as blur, considering your comment on another picture in your gallery (the one with birches). This other picture is not blury, it's just grainy. Here, on the other hand, your picture is blurry. And it looks like a result of hand shake. If you want non-blurry images, you should, whenever shooting dark scenery, find a solid surface or post and push your device against it. You can also use your body, just stand still.

In what concerns composition, your shot could benefit from having the pine trees a bit more centered between the larger trees. Also, I would recommend cropping the frame on the right and on top.

Color-wise, it is unfortunate, that a lot of color is lost in between the red and blue. This happened because you included a lot of dark areas in your shot, and your device tried to compensate for it by exposing your image too much. Since you cannot adjust exposure manually, next time, try to have mostly the sky in your shot so that your device thinks that the scene is very bright. You have examples of that phenomenon in your own gallery. This will make it shoot faster, and might also solve the hand-shake blur.

Overall, you should not underestimate the power of simple photography devices. I saw amazing results with cell-phone photos. People who designed these toy camera inserts were very smart and it's now up to you to know how to use your device.

It's a pretty awesome shot! I like the colours as well, I have to say, especially with the way it feels deeper at the top, then it goes to white but then there is still a bit of colour.. as if there was a dying flash of fire or something before it gets snuffed out.

The focus is a bit dodgy, but other than that, it's not bad. I like the perspective and the way you have framed this piece.

The colors in the sky are great. I love the bright light in the center and how it fades into the blue. The only thing is the overall image is a tad blue, which is fine in the thicker trees, but in the spidery branches it's really noticeable.

The sky is nice, and I love the colours. However, the image is a bit blurry - I guess it's because a long exposure time with a hand-held camera. While it adds an interesting mood to the photo, I would have loved if there was less blur - you could use a tripod, or just use a windowsill, fence etc for added support. Maybe raise the ISO speed a bit. You could also take several pictures of a scene, and see if one turned out better than the other.

Keep shooting and all the best.
