Awesome shot!!!!!! I missed this challenge because I was out of town the whole time, but it's so nice to come back and see such cool shots! Great job!!!
I love the imagery in thie photo and I'm glad its B&W. I think color would have distracted it. But I think it was oversharpened. You can see the white edges around the leaves and theres a dark black line between the trunk and the background on the light side of the tree.
But I'm scoring this one high because I love the movement in the photo!
Perhaps a little more contrast (the neutral background seems to diffuse the differences on the truck a bit), but nonetheless - an exquisite image. 8 (addendum - oops, sorry - forgot I can't vote!)
Nice tree. Someone worked hard for a few years to get it to grow together like that. I'm sorry to say this, but I think the majority of the picture is in the middle gray area and, to me, that sorta knocks it out of the top scores. 7 for the wonderful imagination.
An abstract image for the title? Whatever!.... I really like this tree and I don't know why... could it be the leaves, the trunk, or the interesting cropping. It must be the great range of tones.
Beautiful lighting really makes the most of the form and texture here. Personally I'd crop the right side out further, pretty much on the vertical line of the corner behind - I find the tree slightly too centred within the square frame. Lovely shot.
