The composition is very nice and I like how the hills fade away into the distance. The solar flares while faint are visible enough to distract and do little to enhance the photo. While hardly noticeable, I would of still have taken advantage of the advanced rule set and cloned out the sensor dust. I'm not sure if the flares would of fallen under the major element clause or not.

Very nicely balanced composition, the trunk is very interesting with the eye and the grass grains sneaking into the frame. The other side with the trail, nicely blurred, has interest as well. All this interest begins to become dangerously close to being too busy, but fortunately doesn't cross that line yet. Of course, the condensing to the 640 pixel real estate doesn't help that much. Maybe a bit more of the grassy side to help balance the composition a little more.

Strong foreground element in this photo, but doesn't compete with or take away from the strength of the tree as a key element. Nice side light as well. Great job!

Very cool and ethereal looking scene. The lighting is wonderful in the background and foreground, but gets a tiny bit harsh in the leaves of the tree. But fortunately not enough to kill the feel and vibe of this photo. Great job!
