Thanks all who left comments. I chose this photo because of it's symbolism of life triumphant. I wanted the blossoms over the hands and the dead limb beneath to hint at that very idea, embracing life which is superior to death. At any rate, thank you for your thoughts.

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.

Good work. Maybe a lower POV to get the tree out of the hands. If it wasn't for that this would look marvelous. I also like the border and normally I don't like borders. You have chosen width and colors that work well. Good job.
I like the vivid color of the flowers and the tree, but am thrown off by the one little limb that covers some of the praying hands.. I think if it were not there I would have scored higher.
