I love this one! One of the best tree photos in the bunch. The filagree of trunk, branches and twigs is divine, and the steely grey/blue colour of the sky sets it off beautifully. One of my 10s.
Bottom part looks over-sharpened a little, but I kno I prefer less than a lot of people. I like the color and texture of the background (not your typical sunset photo) and the tree fits well.
Interesting combination of blues. The silhouetted tree int he front works very nicely. The angle and framing/cropping are great. The focus and clarity are good as well. Definately looks untouched by man. I really like the mixture of blues though. Good luck in the challenge.
I love the look of stark branches against the sky, and you have captured a nice variation of light and dark in the sky; the pattern of the brances is nice, but the composition isn't high impact for me. 8
