very, very nice tree, however, the background seems too busy. There's not enough contrast between the tree and the background to make it stand out enough so it gets a little lost in the photo

It's very nice, but seems overly saturated

I liked this very much, but even though the tree was the focus of the challenge, I still didn't care for it centered. I would have liked it much better off a little to the left.

very nice. funny thing is, I really couldn't decide whether I liked the bird or not! I enjoyed seeing the picture.

I love the tree and the sky, but I found it way too blurry. Also, I would have found it more interesting without losing the top and left of the tree. So little of it is out of the picture, it looks like it couldn't fit instead of a cropping choice. I think if the focus was sharp it would have been very nice.

I'm sorry, it's an interesting tree, but I feel that there's not enough contrast between the tree and the building. The trunk disappears into the building, and it makes the tree top seem to float--it's disconcerting. Would an angle more to the right have set it off more?

I like this very, very much--and gave it a ten. However, I think the frame was a big mistake for this picture. It is a very soft picture, even with the tree. The frame keeps bringing my attention out of the picture and I'm finding it very distracting. I couldn't rate it down because of that, though, because I enjoyed the picture too much.

Nice idea, but the tree really gets lost in the photo. Would a lower angle separate the tree from the background and give it a little more definition.

I like this very much, but I wish there was more definition to the tree. With the fog, I'd be happier with everything a little more washed out and get a little detail back on the tree.
