easily the most photoshop I've ever done on an image, and the first time I've seriously shot in RAW. From one RAW image, I first exposed for the sky, then exposed for the land ... merged them to get what you see.

Nice scene and a good job making it a nice photograph. Your processing is good IMO, not over or under done. Colors a great in the foreground and sky and the tree does pop out. Wish you well in the challenge. bump 10
There is an interesting surreal quality to this image. I think it's overdone, however. The technique seems to dominate the subject taking away from it rather than adding.
change the blue sky to white? picture seems to have a "secret garden" feel due to lush deep greens and then the contrast of the stark tree trunk are good. overall I give you 6...gl in challenge :-)
Like: colors of sky and grees. really like your subject 'tree'
Don't like: the processing for final product. I can see haloing around the tree. I don't think the darkening corners is necessary.
6 - but I think it has great much greater potential
