Great shot!, try it in pure B&W, I think it would be more powerful IMO

If I ignore the details of the photo and just focus on the color and tonal balance, I love it. Once I see past the abstract, it looks more like just a tilted shot.

I'm really quite torn on this. I'll stick with the positive, and say I like it, heh.

Very fine photograph. What's so very good about it is that you knew that the tree could not, should not, be made into a 'hero' in this photograph. It's nearly buried here, nearly overwhelmed, and that's the majesty of it ... that it has insisted on remaining a tree, and a proper one, even against this level of affront. The birds appreciate it, and so did you. Me too. 10

It must be something to see this grand tree popping out in the middle of a busy residential area. I love the black and white tone and the highlight around the tree area.

Not quite out of the camera :), a little tone mapping and shadow/highlight were involved.
