Pointing the camera up a tree doesn't strike me as interesting or requiring much imagination, as evidenced by the number of people who chose to do it for this challenge. At least shooting at a different time of day that offered a more interesting quality of light might have helped. While the depth of field makes this a slightly more interesting shot, the small image size detracts significantly. Sorry, 2.
Nice worm's eye view. DOF is good but it would have been even better if the focus was on the upper leaves portion rather than the trunk. Also a little bit of saturation to increase the color of the leaves and the blue background would make this good photograph even more outstanding. Finally, a bigger (up to 640 pixels width) submission would give more details for the viewer to appreciate this beautiful photograph.
