The lighting is working against you here. Top of tree is overexposed and foreground is dark. Maybe fill flash would help (or photographing at different time of day.)

Nice angle and blue sky. The green on the left pulls me away from the subject.

I'd like to see this one taken just before the sun rose or just after it sets. As it ism the light/shadow split is a bit too centered. Nice job meeting the challenge.

Comment by KarenNfld:
Doesn't look to be in focus and there is a lot of noise in the sky. Good composition, though.

I love the colors, but actually wish the sky wasn't so blue. It would have been nice if the sky was overcast and washed out. Then you'd have a colder feel to the whole image. Also, I think that subtle, diffused lighting on the tree (i.e. shot in Golden Hour) would have looked better to emphasize the idea that the tree is dead than these harsh mid-day shadows.

Would have worked better with more contrast and a tighter crop

this is a weak interpretation of the theme in my opinion. Maybe closing in on the small arcs of water in the far part of the frame would have made a better subject.
