Thank you, Mark Swiecki, for your comments. I zoomed in to capture the brightest part of the sunset behind the trees.

MarkSwiecki from Canada on Jun 29, 2009 at 1:56 PM said:

Interesting and artistic shot I like the black outline of the trees against the vivid orange-red sunset colors. When I first looked at it I thought it was a fire (like BINAPAUL's comment) but that's what's nice about images that have a degree of abstract quality.

Your image really captures the 'hot image' theme. Not only is it popular, but the reds and yellows of the sunset look hot as well.
