Looks like a flying saucer is coming in to land. I find it is a little out of focus but otherwise good.

I love the photo of the sign, but wish that glaring red could have been left out.

(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) � From your title, your subject was the bare trees of winter. The photo shows that. You had three sight lines to choose from � viewed from the left tree line, from the center, and from the right side. I hope you took all three. I�ve tried similar shots, and found that an off angle sometimes looks better. I find that the centered view is the best when there is a subject or target at the point of convergence. I don�t see it here. But this center line works ok � and you have everything well centered. I also like how you got close to the ground for the shot.
(2) BACKGROUND - I like how you chose a fair amount of negative space at the top. It works very well.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL � The near trees are in good focus. The far ones are a tad blurred. I�d recommend a smaller aperture, say f/11, and a tripod.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL � The only minor change I see would be to crop out the small white paper centered in the foreground. I question whether this would have worked better in B&W. The green grass is �not winter� with the leaves down.
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO � A good photo which could have been improved (I think) with a different choice of shot angle.

This looks like Houston? just curious... it looks like you exposed for a little too long, and maybe should have used a tripod if you didn't.

I think it's a nice photo, I would rate it higher than I am if it weren't for the intense glare from the streetlight and traffic light
