Beautiful. Painterly. Windy. Motion seems to be in many slightly different directions, instead of motion blur. 8

Lovely abstract - colors are very nice. Only thing I'd suggest to better depict "wind" vice camera movement is to have a few of the trunks more clearly focused. I do like this the way it is, though.

I love the warm colours against a clean blue sky. The painterly effect - whether achieved by your selection of camera settings or by post processing - enhances the photo, IMO. 8.

I hoep you arent getting dinged hard for this image. I had attempted something liek this and it didnt come out even close to being as cool as this one. Great painting like feel. The colors are perfect. This is just a very pleasing image and I hope it does well for you.

Great creativity. Its brave to submit an image like this as I'm sure you either know or are finding out. Most people don't like the different images that break the rules. I do. Those are my favorite, and those kinds of photos make certain photographers stand out. While your photo is very creative (the first 3 in creativity for me so far), I think the compositional element isn't really there. It's the exact oposite of what most people have. I would work on trying different areas with different branch sequences, maybe zooming in during the exposure, or using a tripod so the branches are clear, or maybe using a slow shutter speed and flash. Experimenting with tons of ideas can really be fun.
