An illustration for a book . . . maybe Tolkien. Great trees! Voted earlier.

Life Is Just A Tire Swing

Ahhh, a tire swing - one of a trees great gifts to children.
Because of the white sky, I'd be tempted to see what this looked like in black and white with maybe a slight contrast boost. And though this might seem odd for a challenge in which the tree is supposed to star, I would also look at cropping some off the right. I do enjoy this, though, and it's a 7 from me.

Great light and you handled that sun so well. I like that you included the entire expanse of this lone tree. Voted earlier.

Winter Giant

One of my favorites - light is gorgeous and it's all about that giant tree. It might be a little too blue, but that's a tricky call and the tones are very appealing.

I cannot figure out how you did this in Standard but I'm assuming two models. It's intriguing and suggests a story. The indoor/outdoor lighting are very well handled. 9 from me. Voted several days ago.
