darnit. beautiful shot, but i can't stretch this to "heat" even though the colors are so warm (and the sun is hot?) it just looks so chilly in there.

You certainly did an excellent job capturing the sunset here. And I really like the placement of the foreground tree. My problem is that alandscpae where everything is covered with SNOW just doesn't say "heat" to me at all.

This is a beautiful picture, just does not seem relevant to the "heat" theme.

Seems a bit soft, and the foreground is a bit dark. It is a gorgeous sky and landscape!

Great composition and colors !
