Haha I know exactly where this is, and I know what your title refers to ;-)

Nice one, I think the blue sky and sun is not quite so dramatic as the original by Ed, nor as atmospheric as the misty weather we enjoyed at our get together. We must do that again sometime. All the same its a good image, nicely set up and executed.

Now is this John or Pauline I wonder?

Comment by Haakon:
This is a really great shot, and one of the few pictures of "a simple tree out in nature" that I do enjoy. Of course, this challenge is flooded with them, so that makes it all the more difficult for photos like this to stand out. That being said, your composition, awareness of color, and only very subtle apparent post modification help it to remain loking pure and striking. The sky is great as well - you definitely picked the right time to snap the shutter. My only real critique would be to try to up the creativity level for next time - it's obvious you have an eye for a shot, so stretch yourself a little for future challenges. I do think there's a fine line between setting up a photo that spells out the challenge theme creatively and just being downright goofy, but as long as you approach it with care you'll be fine. This is one of my favorites in the competition.

Nice photo, but it just doesn't pop. I think the problem may have been that you had a less than desirable sky to work with. But that wasn't really your fault, obviously. Nice effort though!
