This feels to busy for me...I don't feel like the tree stands out enough. The sky is the part of the image that I'm drawn to.

A cottonwood, perhaps? Love your idea for this challenge. Works well for me. 8

Definitely meets the challenge, but the scene is hurt by the rather harsh light - there must be some wonderful textures there would have been interesting to focus on, perhaps much earlier in the day.
