There is too much "going on" in this photo, there's no strong point of interest in it for the eye to stop for. A person placed to the left, maybe looking at the big tree would give this photo very much. You've got a beautiful "stage" there, but there's no one to play the needed "role" and let there be something "going on". Now I've used "going on" in two different ways, maybe I'm just making you wonder what I really mean, but I hope you understand where I'm going in this comment.

This is a great photo, one of the best I've seen so far when voting (25% done) in the challenge. I like the clarity in it and the colors.

Nice photo, with more contrast using curves, levels or even the burning tool in PS this photo could be outstanding.

Great tree, I'm a sucker for lonely tree photos and this is a good one, although it's a little bit over sharpened for my tastes. Well seen.

wow, very nice photo with suiting title. The eye is just on the right spot in the frame and the burnt out dark areas near the edges make this photo outstanding! I would like to have this in my living room as a rug..

This pleases my eyes, I'm a sucker for lonely trees photos. It's a little burnt out at the right top and with a little better PS work it would be perfect, maybe just by cropping off a little bit at the top, the white spot in the upper right corner, would do the job... very nice color tone.

Very simple and nice shot, with good color tones matching well together. It wouldn't have hurt to crop a little off the top, but I'm not dragging it down for it.

Nature's Kaleidoscope

Very nice photo, I like the clarity in it and the blurred background. The missing tip of the leaf at the bottom is the only thing that I can drag it down for. But otherwise this is very good.

This is a very nice photo, maybe you should have cropped the blue sky off, maybe it's better that way, with more simplicity. I don't like the green borderline, white or gray would be better, although I'm not dragging your photo down for it.

Best of luck.
