Tree With a View
by Delta_6

Comment:
The first thing that grabs my attention here is the green color on top that closely matches that in the grass. The choice of tree works for me. The choice to almost center the picture may be holding it back a bit. It's not quite centered; not quite on a third. IMO, the picture is a bit unbalanced with more tree and city on the right and less on the left. A crop on the left may help; also getting some more color out of the sky may add a bit of punch to the photo. If I were voting, I'd give it a 6. Good luck.

This has the feeling of being something real and not setup. Good job and congrats on your ribbon.

This is just fantastic! This stands on it's own without trying to meet a challenge. It's a favorite.

Your processing is great here - hopefully you post it after the challenge is over. The only improvement in my opinion would be to not have the model. One of the best of the challenge.

This is funny and using only a couple of colors works perfectly. This looks like a postcard. One of my favorites of the challenge.
