THis is an above average shot which I think got the score it deserved.
THEME: respected!
COLOR AND FOCUS: great job on the colors! Your blue sky creates a nice contrast with the dark green areas. Your focus is good.
COMPOSITION: IMO this seems like a "point and shoot" photo with not a lot of research done for composition... but then again, I'm often wrong!! The lines are ok but my eye isn't drawn towards specific elements of the photo. Nothing really stands out. There's nothing wrong with that but I think that's where you coulda gotten a few extra points. YA know that whole "WOW" factor that DPC members look for. :o)
Nice landscape shot. Colors do appear a little dark on the trees. The tree on the right seems to have the majority of focus and detail. Would rather have it on the central tree.
