You could of used this for the brach challenge. It is good for this one too! Love the colors in this image. Beautiful example of the rules of thirds.

Great idea and shot, but seems a little over-processed in areas. A little too much noise in the neutral tones also. Neat Image might have corrected this. If you intended to have the photo look like this - Sorry, but I don't think it works, but it has great potential - you've got the right idea IMO.

Dead end of branch placed at intersection of thirds. Interesting color. Background is nicely out of focus, but a little distracting still.

Lying in the grass, next to the mausoleum.

Greetings from the Critique Club

If this image was in a modern art museum, people would be Ahhh-ing and Ohhh-ing over it.

It is original, uses interesting colors and tells a story. It is unfortunate that the voters saw what they considered "technical lapses" instead of the story-telling aspect. You EXIF data and your photographers comments tell me you achieved exactly what you wanted to achieve.

While I think you have an original photographic mind, for DPC it might be worthwhile to try more realistic/conventional images - if you want to score higher.

I, for one, will look forward to seeing your further contributions to DPC, whatever the road you choose to travel.
