Now that's what I call on topic... Good shot
My 1st consideration when judging a photo is how closely it relates to the
challenge topic, next originality and photo technique & quality are equally
judged.

Took me a little to see a head looking off the the right, but I now like this shot a lot. Great job seeing this interpretation.

Nice uncluttered background thanks to the shallow DOF and further enhanced by the backlighting.
Hope voters give this image the time and score it deserves.
Nice work

What I like:
- an interesting formation of branches and leaves
- I think I see the face
What I dislike:
-The tilt, seems to be contrary to the calmness of a tree :)
-The colours, well if the light was so bright and there was no way you could enhance the colours by a different angle or tie of exposure or a filter or ps, then you should show us this. I undestand that b&2 would "hide" the tree, but maybe selective desat? I read on the forum that there is a way to do it and it still would be within the rules.

I give you a 5, why? There are shots of tree faces in this chalange that are better.
Don't give up, shoot and experiment :)

I'm generally not a fan of angle shots, but it works very well in this instance. 8

Beautiful shot. Exceptional detail. Love the colors on the butterfly. The dof provides lovely soft pinks and greens. Very nice image. One of several 10's. Congrats!
