Hrm. When I first looked at this shot I gave it a 6, and kind of guessed that was where it would stay as I went through and bumped up votes. But every time I came to it, there was just something unique about it that I liked. The soft colors, the little puffs of clouds that mimic the bunches of pine needles, the unbalanced feel of it all... somehow it all worked for me. I didn't really get the title, and that bothered me... like I was missing something, but in the end, I ended up giving this shot the only 10 it received. Not quite where I was expecting to see this one finish, but I still think it's a fantastic shot. Well done!
What a magnificent tree. Almost Dr Zeuss-like in its shape and bend. Great composition, but I think it needed a touch more foreground. As is, I feel the tree and baby are too close to the bottom edge of the frame. The colours in the sky all look wonderfully natural though, which is a huge plus I think :) Well done.
Rather a nice silhouette and grass. The sky is perfect. Your little one is indeed cute - but I think the photo would have been better with the tree alone. Although, I am not sure I could have left out the child if she was mine ;-)
I am SOOOOOO glad you put the child in this picture because when pic is downloading I thought those top clouds were heading downward! bottom third of this pic is very nice indeed! overall I give you and 8 :-) gl in challenge
I like the photo. Sky is nicely colored and does a nice job setting off the shilouette of the tree. However, the presence of the child in the photo hurts, not because of the child per se, but by leaving room for him, the photo is unbalanced and seems to be falling over. If you had cropped it closer in the left, I don't think it would feel that way.
