Branching Out into Manhood

Love the idea. I wish it could have been a bit brighter, but I understand that with a long exposure it can be difficult to get it just right.

I love that you found a non-tree branch that actually looks like a tree branch. Architecture that looks like nature? The slight green color cast is perfect and reminiscent of trees. And the soft focus works really well for me. 10.

The Brooding Perch

This is an amazing pose for the bird (vulture?). I love that the head is down and the face is hidden. I wish there was a little more detail in the head and feathers. The image looks a little underexposed. Something about the colors seems a little off, maybe a little yellow or green? I can't quite tell, but overall the shot is wonderful. 10.

Peacock "branches"

Nice idea, I really like the unusual "branches". The black feathers at the bottom are a little distracting visually. Beautiful composition. 9.

Nightlight

I think this is a great shot as is. I agree with others that burning/darkening the bright spots on the tree (and maybe also the bright wall on the lighthouse) would help overall. I also think pushing the sky a little darker, or maybe more toward dark blue and less purple, might give the whole photo more depth. Beautiful work already!

I love the colors in this composition. The texture of the white is also beautiful to look at. Very nice.

Reach for the Sky

What a strange landscape. I really like the use of black and white for this picture. It makes the scene even more unreal.

Very dramatic branch to photograph. The tilt to the horizon is distracting to me, but can be easily fixed. I also might have liked to have more space at the top of the image so we can see the ends of the branches and they don't get cropped off.

Great entry for this challenge. Although the stark white background is too standard for such a great photo. I've taken a look at your portfolio and you have some great work and some things that make me laugh out loud (like the 1983 photo). Congratulations.

I love this craggy tree. Great subject. The grass looks very yellow and it is a little tough on my eyes. Maybe you could tone down the yellow. Really well suited to this challenge. 9.
