Might work for the low key challenge. Hard to see the trees in this one. Interesting light. (6)

Poplars in Burlap, Winter Freeze
by Bear_Music

Comment:
One must assume there are trees inside the burlap sacks. I guess we can use our imagination, because you didn't show any trees in your composition. I did score this fairly well, because your DOF is excellent. Exposure is very good. It's a "think outside the box" image, which is usually punished by the punks at DPC. (6)

On Golden.

Comment:
Well, there's a golden pond out there. The tree obstructs the view, which is an irritation. A lot of black space in the lower portion of the image, which doesn't seem to assist the image.

Pine Needles at Dawn
by smurfguy

Comment:
Tough shot to get right. The sun glare is too much. The pine needles are too obscure and underexposed.

Chaos

Comment:
I like the title and the reference to chaos theory. Sorry, it's just a little soft in focus in some areas. Detail lost in the shadows and almost lost in the brightest highlights.

Tree House

While I like the vintage look and sepia treatment, I don't think you nailed the focus. Great subject, weak composition.

The Magic Forest

Comment:
An artistic effort which doesn't work too well for me. The vertical lines seem to be tilted. The varying light might have been very pleasant, but the blur effect makes it impossible to know.

Reach for the Sky

Comment:
Bright sky, but okay. Detail lost in the shadows of the tree. An okay silhouette, but it's a bit gloomy with too much big branches without detail.

Comment:
The sky is overexposed, as in detail lost in the highlights. And, detail is lost in the shadows (where the trees are). Unclear what you were trying to present.

A very old soul enjoying a California sunset

Some blurriness in the tree... maybe wind motion. Also, quite a few jpg artifacts around the tree edges. And the bright spot near the upper left corner is accompanied by jpg artifacts. The sky shows evidence of posterization. Colors are good, but it seems to be a low quality image. (I see the file size is only 35kb. You lowered the jpg quality too much. You can submit images up to 150kb.)
