John, this is not a bad pic and i think the general idea is great. Yip, this must fit the challenge, looking at it in perspective. I do think the composition is not too strong and would have, for example, panned closer and put the tree more to the right. And then as far as post processing goes, you could have made it sharper and perhaps played with the levels to give it more color. You have great color potential here, but this pic in my opinion is a bit dull. The damning part is your tree is not at all sharp, that could also have made a big difference. As i didnt consider the challenge in this pic, nether negative nor positive, I feel comfortable to stay with my score. However, as encouragement, please go back and retake the pic if you can, not for anybody else but for you. go play with the option of zooming in a bit and placing the tree more to the right. whenever i get feedback i dont like, i go back and try the advise given. I honestly believe this pic has more potential than you realize. BEST LUCK FURTHER, bumping up to 5.

Bumping up, really still does not appeal to me ;-), however being honest with myself, I have to re evaluate my prejudice and look at it with a focussed mind. Knowing the members I'm sure they will score this well.
