I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

That light just above the tree bothers me.
I like everything but the 'ghost'. Seems more annoying than helpful. That said I really like the rest of the photo. Had it not had the brutal flare, would have gone in favorites. 5
I like this setup, however I would have moved closer to the stone so it dominated as opposed to the tree. The picture at this point seems to be about the tree, the light draws my eyes to the branch and then right to the colors, and I have to force a return to the stone. Good setting and idea, like the colors. 6
