This shot looks oversharpened. Lots of artifacts around the edges of the old dead tree. Too bad, since this is a very dramatic shot. I also find that the frame is a bit much. A thinner frame would have made for a larger image and might have avoided the artifacts. Nice composition.
Just an amazing shot! I love it. One of the best shot of this week. I love the B&W choice in this picture. I think the mist is helping you in this picture. No doubt, awesome picture. So, congrats for a fantastic work. Keep the good work. 10
Wonderful composition, the dead (?) tree is well in focus and I like the softness of the background. :-) Although I like solid borders a much, this one is too distracting for me: it's too wide for my taste. Maybe the third would be fine.
Superb subject. Like the crop too, and good call on both b/w and the frame (I usually don't like the frames so thick but this is very tasteful). I give it a 8, but I would give it a 9 if there weren't a slight oversharpening evident on the foreground tree (you can see it on the lower right side of the tree, the white line). Great job!
Okay, since there's been much convo on borders, let's start there, I like it but I think it's too thick, makes it kinda distracting. Love the tree and the composition of th shot. The choice was a good one, IMO. Nice shot!
Very good. A standout shot in this challenge. My only maybe is the branch running off the picture on the right. Therwise, an excellent shot. I like the cropping very much.
