I originally marked this as a 4, because when I first saw it, I couldn't process it--I couldn't figure out what it was, and it didn't hold my interest enough to keep looking at it. Now that I've gone back and studied it more--I get it. I moved it to a 5, but even though I like the idea, I would have liked it better if the front part of the image was more in focus, and if the background was darker (without the light spots) to set the image off more. It's hard when they take dodge and burn away from us, isn't it!

My favorite minimalist tree in the challenge - I really like the way you've brought out the color and texture in the foreground.

I really like this one. Personally, I may have composed the tree not in the middle. Great light falling on the hill.

This is a nice pic, the scope is grand and I love the colors. I don't feel that the tree itself is symmetrical enough to really pop with center positioning, I would prefer it off to a side.

Strong composition. Simple and quite effective. Love the diagonal line in the sky - it adds a lot to the image.

why to much sky...would have liked this better if the tree wasn't "centered", otherwise good capture
