I'm submitting this while still being on holiday... Focal Length 10mm (16mm), polarizer filter. Taken the JPEG into PSCS, levels, some burning for the foreground using duplicate layer and gradient masking, USM, save as JPG and submitted.

Looks like a great location and a nice picture. The foreground takes too much of the attention I feel. Maybe you wanted it to lead the eye to the tree and in a way it does but it makes the tree not dominant enough. Great colours.
I really like the colors of the sky and the tree. The only minor criticism is that small bit of shadow or dark spot on the bottom, I would have cropped that out. 7
what a great tree! the light/dark green is really nice. i think the centered composition isn't working too well - maybe cut out a bit of the foreground and move the tree a bit to one side.
The polarizer works wonders, does it not. I can remember many a summer on the beaches of Greek islands. Your photo brings back the smells of the pines and the herbs growing along the cliff tops. Great days. Enjoy yours!
