I think focusing on the branches in the background would have been better. But intresting colors.

Purple fringing, blown highlights, and nothing seems to really be in focus. Sorry.

Interesting idea, and clever title. Blurry though, and the bright spot is pretty distracting.

Depth of field focus missed the broken branch.

I'm still hoping to find the technique to get this type of image right. I think the DOF needs some work.

I really like the texture that this photograph is presenting. However I find the striking sharp colors in the back right hand corner to be slightly distracting. Maybe it would have done well in black and white. I love the title though! NICE WORK!

Boring, there is just to many of these pictures in the challenge, and nothing to set it apart from all the others.

DOF a little too short to do this image justice. POV is awkward. Honestly not sure what I am looking at.
