 Water is Life. I wanted to take an image signifying the connection between man and nature, and found that water truly unites both. So I set out towards an easily visible water tower in my home city of Burlington, in the hopes that a tree was near it, and surely enough, here it is.

It almost looks like it is growing the in tower. Kind cool.

Neat perspective. I think this would have had a greater effect if the tree was in bloom.

Image is a bit small and lacking composition. Can't change nature but I wish the sky was more noticeable also.

An nice perspective view, but needs some serious adjustments to bump it up visually. I played with some adjustments to this one and it really has some potential. I got something pretty neat looking by running it through topaz adjust.

One other thing is that you should use the maximum allowed image size in at least one direction in order to maximize visible detail.

Not sure why this is so small. It's a great idea but loses a lot of impact based on size.

A larger photo would have scored higher. Well done though!
