Probably too busy to do well in a challenge, but I like the strong lines here with the occasional leaf. I think using the large branches to frame the smaller ones adds stability and makes the photo work.

An odd resolution (more like a single chore), and the cluttered branches don't make very appealing image. What if you showed a person tangled in the branches to make the resolution more urgent?
LOL - only those who have OWNED a fruit tree can properly appreciate this one! (Mine were cherry and apple trees - and they NEVER quit needing attention, do they?!) 7
I like this shot a lot because it has both elements of simplicity (there's black and light gray, but not a lot of intermediate gray) and complexity (all the little branches).
It uses pretty much the whole area of the shot (ie, the corners or a side are not bare in comparison to the rest of the photo), too.
