Good concept, good image, the colors, lighting and media convey heat very well. Tree texture still looks like wood to me, not quite like your charcoal description.

I like this! The scene is well-balanced in composition and use of the color palette. Perhaps the tree looks a little bit too angular/artificial. Try POVtree! It works even better than MakeTree (sorry Gilles!).
The sun is well-rendered. I suppose it should glow much more... but some artistic licence is allowed here ;-)
