I think I have to agree with jmsetzler here. It does certainly meet the challenge, but I'm left wondering what the purpose of the photo was. Was it just to take a photo of a branch, or is there another purpose? It's not very visually appealing at all. The focus is soft and the crazy colors hurt my eyes.
I supose it might work as an abstract, but even then, the colors are such that I wouldn't want to look at it for long before I got bored and moved on with my life.
There really isn't a main focal point. my eyes wander looking for a place to land and eventually just wander right out of the photo.
I can't help you much without any photographers comments listed. What were you trying for? What editing steps did you take?
I supose the lighting appears to have been even. No horrible bright spots, or distracting shadows and the background doesn't contain any distracting elements other than the color.
Just really not my cup of tea i'm afraid. I'm not trying to sound harsh, just honest.

I spent about 5 minutes looking at this image trying to determine what it is that you are trying to show me. The only conclusion that I can draw is that you are showing me a photo that meets the challenge. The image appears to have no subject and no coherence. It's a bit to random for my taste to have any significant impact as a photograph.
