This challenge was before I joined, but had I gotten to vote then, it would be a 9 with the 10 pending if the person under the tree was out of the photo (would like to see just the tree).
Love the mottled sky. The warm pallette of golds and beiges work great for me. The human added to the shot is great, with his upstretched limb - like that of the trees. Upon 2nd review, bumping up. 8
a very intersting editing job, which works well. The rotation of the canvas to get the horizon line to work might be OK because the tree could have grown sideways but in combination with the figure, at the same odd angle it hurts the image. I do like the weird sky you got in the partial de-sat.
It's hard to tell, and I realize that the tree is probably leaning a bit to the right, but unless the person is ALSO leaning to the right, the horizon needs to be straightened here. Gereat image. The tree is neat looking, but I don't know that it is truly the subject of this image. The amazing sky is.
nice colors. overall i give this a 8. something about the gold/orange cloud right over tree looks sorta like a glob? maybe disperse some grey/black clouds there also?not sure...gl in challenge :-)
