Creative idea! And the tree really looks just like a warrior. The focus is okay, but near the bottom of the tree gets a bit blurry. It's interesting though.
One of the few branches that was truely interesting on it's own. Well done, though the focus feels a little too soft at the "head" and the arm with the sword looks over sharpened, but that might just be the way it came out of the camera?
7 - Well seen. Looks like a dead Paperbark (tree) warrior. Criticism; slightly different angle, maybe more fore focus, could have made this a better shot in my opinion. Dependent what is there on the end of that left 'limb', that incorporated into frame would be better too. Just a little more 'space on top, or to the left, perhaps a slight nudge rotation to the right, may have also made this a little more dramatic.
The subject lacks interest to me - (I know it's hard to make "branch" interesting) -- and I do see the warrior --- Perhaps a more dramatic/colorful sky as background would help?
very intersting. I like the abstractness of it. Dead, or dying, trees almost always make for interesting abstracts. However, I feel that the overexposure of the sky is distracting, and detracts some what from the image.
My first thought when seeing your photo was the tree fighters in Lord of the Rings. I like the angle and composition. Too bad the sky is so bright. I wonder how a darker, more menacing sky would have looked? Very cool though.
