First Impression - the most important one: Interesting composition ... nice lines ....
Composition: The leading lines in this picture are great ... your eye goes up the line of the tree and gets dragged further into the picture .. unfortunately they end at the sidewalk and that doesn't do the shot justice.
Subject: Meets the challenge .. and does so with gusto.
Technical (Colour and light): The DOF is a little shallow ... that the base of the tree is totally blurred means you can't see that it is 'broken' off persay. It is also really dark ... maybe a little fill flash would have helpted ... or seeing that the path is shiny a different angle may have allowed more natural light.
To grow its vote?: Think about the angles of the shot .. take many pictures and when reviewing and selecting your entry think about how others will see your picture .. and the questions that they will ask.
Summary: Great work .. second entry and improving .. you are doing well.

The lighting doesn't do this one justice. I know there are some great greens in the shot, but it looks a little too dark. I think a different position that excluded the wet sidewalk would have helped achieve a much better exposure. As it is, that one overexposed spot grabs all the attention.
