You should consider increasing the threshold setting of USM with shots like this. Good luck.

First Sprinkle

Nice lighting and nice capture of the water droplets. Composition is very nice. Looks like some flash highlights on the most prominent leaf which are a bit distracting, but otherwise a fine entry. Good luck.

Bonsai Tree

Comment:
Overwhelming amount of white background does nothing to enhance this photo, it just minimizes your subject for no good reason. Subject itself is off kilter. Might also work better cropped much tighter so the tree fills the frame and cropped so that the tree's pot is not visible (or much less prominent). Good luck.

Reach for the Sky(ler)

Backlighting is very nice here and your exposure is dead on. The title is pretty lame and ruins an otherwise nice mood this photo creates in the mind. Unique composition. Good luck.

Le Voyeur

Very creative! Something is amiss here though. I cant tell if things are slightly out of focus on the tree or if the colors have been messed with in a bad way, but something is not very appealing.

The lonely Bush

Begging for dnmc votes by calling it a bush? Is it a bush? Is a bush a tree? Oh, the philosophical quandries of voting on dpc.

Once was a tree

This tree offered you the absolute perfect opportunity to frame that windmill between those curved branches. Looks like you just had to take two steps to the right to do it. Close your eyes and picture me kicking you for missing the chance. Other than that, nice colors. Lighting is a bit harsh. That field probably glows at sunset. Tree itself has an interesting shape, but not a whole lot else going on. Close your eyes, here it comes again...
