Comment by mycelium:
you were punished by the conservative voting crowd here. this image is better than the score it got, both in general and with specific reference to this challenge. i think it should have scored in the range of 6, myself.

One of the most creative entries in this otherwise oh so conservative challenge.

simply lovely. painterly.

Comment by GeneralE:
Interesting choice to de-focus the subject -- makes one stop and consider what's otherwise a pretty ordinary and largely monochromatic composition. Such daring is rarely rewarded at DPC, but maybe you'll do better than usual : )

extra points for doing something different.

Comment by naplesmusc:
like it because it's different, clever. nice sharp on the foreground leaves. hope you're not killed by the DNMC people. 7 for me.

Comment by mpreslar:
Hard to say which single tree is the subject here. The branch in focus or the blurry one is the field...

Comment by JunieMoon:
I think I might have liked it better if the distant tree were in focus. Obviously you meant to do this, and that is the reason why you left the foreground branches in, but it doesn't work for my compositional aesthetics. Anyway, the colors surrounding the tree look very nice, and there are some defined lines, but the blur just detracts from the image.
