One Tree hill!

I'm not sure the zoom effect has worked for you here, I felt the composition alone was strong enough to have carried this.

I love compositions like these and I typically like them to be a little on the dark side, but the vignette here is too overpowering even for me.

Bent But Not Broken

Post work feels too CGI animated. I do love the composition though. Stunning find.

Hmmm... I think I would have panned a bit more to the left for this. The rocks being directly behind the tree, seem to distract. I do like the layering in the bg mountains though. Nice work.

Why is the sky lighter around the tree? Still, I like the simplicity of this composition, bump.

The Wedding Tree

The sky feels sorta washed out compared to the strong foreground colour. Good comp though. Do you have a shooting buddy? ;) Saw a similar scene a little while ago...

If we pull this off!

Since this isn't actually an outtake - that would imply that you had entered the challenge in question and are showing variations of the submitted image or alternative choices. Since you are not doing either, I'll comment and vote.

Love it. Very funny indeed :D The exposure's not quite right though, but would have given it an 8 all the same.

Cheers
Rina.

I see where you're going with this, but I find my attention on the buildings rather than the tree. Or is that the point?

A stately calm

An odd mix of oversharpening and blur. Pity about the overexposed sky, but I do like the muted colour in the foreground.

Lighting of the Tree

A long exposure that's quite different from the norm. Not sure what type of camera you're using, but it doesn't give you a high enough res and the pixel distortion is obvious.
