Description
This one was a little more complicated than my previous sunset-images, but it was very interesting to create. The back-lighting presented me with some interesting problems with both lighting and composition. It's hard to create a nice feeling of depth with this sort of backlighting.
The tree is originally from Xfrog - Pines, but I've altered it quite a bit to make it fit my needs. New textures and quite a bid of re-modelling in Xfrog.
The red lighting was also a tricky one... It took a lot of experimenting to get the right colour on the tree and some good looking shadows.

Thanks for looking!

...and once again; I've hidden a special animal somewhere in there (and no... it's not the birds ;). Try and see if you find it :)
