Very interesting. However, I think that black and white with high contrast to show detail in the grss could have given this pic a more barron feel and more deserted than it already is. Also, try not to chop so much of the main subject off. I'm forever looking for the rest of the branches! Well done, Good try =)
I like the colors, particularly the blue of the sky. I like how the tree "climbs" up the frame bowing just a touch into the picture. Beaufiully cropped. Maybe just a little too soft in teh focus though?
