What happened to the colors here? I think it would work if the tree was the only thing with visible color. But I see little patches of color all over and it is very distracting.

I get the idea behind this one, but it just isn't to my personal liking. Thats not saying its a bad photo, just doesn't appeal to me.

Sorry but the post processing has made this look like white spots all over the photo including the darker tree. It is actually very hard to look at. Did you over sharpen maybe? BTW my monitor is calibrated, it can look very different on an uncalibrated monitor.

Personally, I'm not crazy about the processing - the landscape is so very busy. I do like the idea and concept behind it though.

Unfortunately this is rather noisy and unappealing for me. It looks selectively desaturated, not a favourite technique of mine, but judging from the colour noise in the scrub area, I'll guess not. It looks a bit overprocessed to me (oversharpened, over noise-reduced, and over-curved maybe). The composition is pleasing though, aside from the little mass top centre, and the shape of the tree is quite lovely. 5
