Alone at Sunset
by JacquiD

Comment:
what a bright "pastel" sunset. I think I'd like this shot if more of the tree's bottom trunk area were also showing. lay on ground and take shot? I also understand not leveling the horizon because it would tilt the tree to the right? good luck in the challenge :-)

I am SOOOOOO glad you put the child in this picture because when pic is downloading I thought those top clouds were heading downward! bottom third of this pic is very nice indeed! overall I give you and 8 :-) gl in challenge

Regal Pine

Comment:
"regal" suggests to me royal colours such as dark puple, gold, etc. What shows on my laptop (ugggg) monitor is glare. not sure if there is a haze/fog/something from left running downward into bottom center of frame? but the needles are lemon green and trunk is washed out light grey/neutral. 5 because it does meet the challenge..gl :-)

some burning on left upper corner? or maybe even viginette on all corners equally? I love the bridge lights and the tree and the couple on the bench. overall I give you a 7 gl in challenge :-)

Nature's Skull
by jdannels

Comment:
very fitting title. When I saw title and picture was first loading I thought title came just from a dead tree trunk...WRONG..which is a good thing :-) light areas are somewhat blown out on my monitor but then I'm on a laptop. 6 for shot and 7 for creativity, originality (doubt we'll see another skull in trunk) so overall I give you the higher 7..gl in challenge :-)

"Post it" on the Oriental Strawberry Tree

Comment:
very interesting bark on this tree! nice light along trunk. The golden lite area on left middle is where my eye seems to keep ending. and that area is nice. Can't exactly put my finger on what I don't like about the greenery. The blur seems to be moving or something...? 7 for the tree trunk 5 for composition and blur/business around trunk...6 overall..gl in challenge :-)

Poor Twisted Me

change the blue sky to white? picture seems to have a "secret garden" feel due to lush deep greens and then the contrast of the stark tree trunk are good. overall I give you 6...gl in challenge :-)

Reaching up
by Refwhett

Comment:
my first reaction to this is...you did this shot to meet a challenge not because it moved something inside you to shoot it????and I'm know i'm wrong...but it's what comes to mind. The green branches in lower right have movement from wind or just blurry? The character of the tree is nice. 5 good luck in challenge :-)

On the Flip-Side

Comment:
what a nice sky, nice tree, and darn nice grass...and I do understand the use of unusual crop at times. However, i feel like your tree is about to slide off the monitor. Unless you have object on left and right lower that you want to delete why not have this a normal crop? lovely images but I'm not sure about having to lay over to look at this shot. 5 for meeting challenge 7 for grass, tree and sky...so I'm giving the shot a 6..gl in challenge :-)
