what a nice capture. i hope this isn't getting lost in the shuffle of this super-sized challenge, and that you are getting good feedback. as much as i like this, though, i can't help but wonder if it would be a bit more dramatic if shot at a different time of day? oh well, that's just me. you have a fine image, and i hope it does well for you here. good luck with this, and all the challenges yet to come!

INteresting tree, though I feel like the image is a little flat overall, needs a bit more oomph. Good try though, and best of luck for future challenges.

There is a lot going on in the photo for my liking. The tree in the front loses some punch with the trees in behind. Focus seems a touch off as well.

This picture is looking very good to me as I look out the window at 6 inches of snow and still coming down!

I wonder what this would look like with some direct sunlight on it. Still a nice image though.

I get a good feel for the type of landscape you are portraying here...however, I think the image will suffer scorewise for not having a real point of focus.
Perhaps picking out one point of interest from what`s on view and shortening your depth of field to isolate it from the rest would add impact.
However, this is only my opinion and should be treated accordingly.

I took a very similar shot when I was in the country for a drive and found it to lack subject and interest. I find these shots to look more snapshotish and not as planned. Maybe a selective desaturation would have improved this shot for my vote but not as it is. It is very sharp and the apples stand out but other then that, thats it. Keep trying and don't get discouraged by what others think.

I like it. Judging from all the spots though it looks like you need to have your sensor cleaned. You could also get rid of them in Photoshop.

That was a good movie and with this tree, thesde birds are like petals being flaked off. A very interesting image.
