Great photo. I do find the greenery and trees in the background a little distrating to my eye for this particular challenge. Overall, great job!

These sights of green around us make life a pleasant coexistence with nature. You live in a nice location.

i think a little more bokeh could have really made this tree a stronger subject.

This is a lovely old tree with an appealing shape. The lighting is flat, however...it really needs to stand out from the background. A combination of selective focus and difference in lighting could help achieve separation from the busy background elements.

Simple and very effective - I can't tell you, though, why I like this soooo much better than all the fives I just gave to the other pics.
