I really like the idea in this shot, and the tree and new branch themselves look beautiful - unfortunately i find the background kinda distracting.

The subject in your title is shaded in darkness unfortunately. Could have waited a moment for the sun to light it.

Beautiful lines & composition. I think the colors & contrast could use a bump, but otherwise great shot.

Awesome scene, awesome DOF. Your a little slanted on your horizon though. This is an easy fix in Photoshop. If you need help straightening a shot, PM me after the challenge and I'll tell ya how. Your colors seem a little flat too. Maybe a little tweaking of the levels would hellp bring out the tones in the rocks. As far as the challenge goes though, this doesn't really look like an illusion to me...
