Dream Light

Another very cold day, the sort that really does chill to the marrow. After making my rounds with not much in the can, I saw this view of the setting sun through the trees. It's the kind of light that makes my heart sing and stopped me in my tracks. The trees might not be otherwise much to look at, but seen in this way, this image is about light and shape and colour and emotion.

I played around with framing, trying to decide whether to include the sun, and if so, how much and to which side. Although the bright circle in this frame is not the sun, it does serve to bring the rest of the image together.
