Great idea. I would work on the lighting a bit more and I would have used a shiny knife for a better effect.

The coloring here is brilliant. That sky is just perfect. I love the lighting on the tree branches. It shows some texture. As for your cropping, it would have been better to see the tips of the branches. The composition is too tight to accomodate any text that a stock agency would look for.
Overall a pretty picture but lacking "WOW" factor.
Good luck on future challenges.

The contrast between the tree and sky is amazing, and you got the image so sharp, good one! The only thing I find distracting is the crop. I would have liked to have seen the tree fully in at least one direction. You got the tree cropped from the sides and the top, like a hand with no fingers. But it is a good stock photo for sure.

Nice silhouette. Good creepy background too. Nice shot!

Neat! I like this a lot. The composition is very effective, and the colours are bold. I don't mind the slight amount of grain.

I'm not sure if it's good for stock photography, but as a free study photo it's very nice.

Wow, super colors and lighting on the tree. I wish that it wasn't cropped off though. It would have been nice to see it end against that blue sky.

Very nice! I am drawn to "snag shots". Very good color and focus. Framing - I don't know everything, but limbs coming into the frame from other than the bottom leave me wanting. (Don't worry, it's more of a nit than anything.) 8 Swash
