I was playing with the custom white balance earlier in the day and forgot to change it back to Auto when I went to get this image.  It was late afternoon, but the light wasn't quite as warm as it appears in the photo.  However, when I looked at it, I realized right away what I had done but actually really liked the warmth it brought to the image, so I kept it.  I really like this silhouette, but I wish that I had pulled some of the other branches away from the main focus - I think they are a bit distracting even though they are out of focus and blend into the background.  They kind of divide the image up.  However, that was nearly impossible - I already had one hand on a branch and one on the camera (which is not light), so getting the other branches out would have required a helper or a tripod and remote.  And sometimes you just don't feel like dragging all of that outside :)
