Comment by Gatorguy:
This does look like wintery, cold and barren. Because the tree can't be offset to thirds, I think it would have been better symetrical so the crop was equal on both sides of the tree. Otherwise, well done.

Cropped slightly to much on the left hand side/

Great subject. I'm a little confused about why you've chosen to crop part of its branch structure on the left, and leave whitespace on the right. Would be nice to keep it all in the frame.

I would have like to have seen this centered with more in the shot, otherwise I like the subject and delivery

I like the tree but the background would have made a great landscape picture as well by itself. any way, good view of the whole tree, it could have been a little more centered.

Lacks the punhc, the highly orthodox standard photographic approach to landscape that I'd expect of a calendar. A good enough scene, in itself, and in your chosen composition (although I think a more draatic cloudscape would be effective), but the light is not great - no sense of shape to the mountains, no warmth, and a sense of the image being cropped too high. You've done well howeever, to place the horizon strongly in frame, and to find those parallele shapes of tree-line and hills. Close - but it needs to be more imposing, to my eye.

Just aim a little lower so that the mountain line is about 60% up the shot and I woulda scored it a point or two higher.

I like the road. I would crop the sky down a bit. Having so much sky minimizes the mountains for me. Nice lighting - light in the foreground and background with the midranges darker adds an interesing twist.
