Nice postcard shot. Would prefer to see the ground completely black, or show more of the reflection low right. Nice composition. 9.

I like the subtle colours, however the slash of light on the left disrupts the even effect. Should have gone for one or the other, shadow or sunlight.

Nice shot. I really like the color of the branch. At first I found the bright background distracting, but it grew on me. Nice job!

8 - Really like the color capture and the texture in this, including the background. Very nice and 'pure'. Criticism; perhaps a little more 'balanced', or more empty space top right may have made this better, not sure. The same detail on the tip as is on the 'pod' and leaves, would be nice but may have been difficult. The little 'tips' of branches top left and the two 'white dots' back right, are a touch distracting and do detract, but not overly. Really like the colors and that you can see the branch clear enough under that dense foliage.

Definitely high contrast - no doub tabout it. Good composition, clean...almost a graphic novel feel to it. I hope you do very well with this photo. One of my favorites from this challenge.

The bright areas in the background are really stealing attention away from the tree branch.
