OK, rule of thirds be damned, this is a cool image. BUT you have a whole bunch-o-sky that is not doin' jack for it! I would crop it to a pano! Also, I am not sure about the "spotlight" thing on the tree. Looks like it was dodged a bit too much. For this challenge it is ok, but I don't really like it. For general use of the image, I would use USM on the whole range and present it as a pano. But that is just me...

Nice concept. One thing that hurts this photo is the 'peaks' being the same height as the tree and the fact that 80% of the shot is blue sky. Do not care for the glow around the tree. It appears unnatural because if that were backlighting from the sun, the faces of the hills would be more shadowed and the clouds would not have shadows on their bottoms. Anyway, would like to see this if it were shot from closer to the tree and from an angle that maximized the height of the surrounding hills. The sky does nothing here but minimize everything else so losing a very large part of it would be a good thing.

Good picture. Might have been better more light on her face, hands and the dark part of the corn.

The lightening of the sky around the tree is just a bit too obvious. It's a good idea to do that, but it's a little heavy handed. Sorry...
