Like the fact that the bark is flaking off, with a very smooth surface underneith - further up the tree. Tried to get as much DOF as possible, only so much can be had with a tree at least 100ft. tall.

Moving just slightly back a little but keeping nearly the same angle might show off the nice texture of this trees bark a little better. Moving too far back though would lose the nice view of the limbs against that nice clouded light blue sky so not too much. Just a little. Overall well done.
The pattern of the branches against the sky in the shot is really well done. I like that part of the photo a lot (one more point on review). The texture of the bark though just doesn't jump out as much as I'd like though.
A interesting approach to the challenge subject. The image works on several levels from layering the sky with branches to the details of the tree trunk. The image from a color standpoint is a little flat and could use a little tweaking to make it pop. A solid entry. Nice concept.
