I almost didn't process this one at all. Then I really looked at it and the wood started looking like a pair of hands. Hope someone else sees them.

interesting rock formation....to get the message across that they are nature's hands i think you should have just kept the sapling green...the rest of the vegetation is distracting
Threre are waaaaaaay too many things that missed desaturation. I would have left one or two similar items left color - not this much. The picture has excellent contrast. You certainly started with a great picture - if it had one item or a small set of items standing out I would have voted it fairly high.
