Not much to see. Too dark.

I think the idea is a good one, however the subject lacks some punch to really be interesting. The colors are a little washed for my taste, maybe it would have been better in B&W. The shot does convey the challenge, kuddos on that. SCORE: 3
Good job nonetheless and good luck.

Enteresting view. I think maybe a little more light on the tree, and a little less amount of forground.. You might try this in b&w.

Ok, this is an interesting photograph, but I don't see how it directly relates to the challenge.

It appears your flash has some specific limitations. Maybe you need to get a little closer next time....

this could be a really interesting photo, but seems to lack something.Flash will always ruin a photo. This image might work better when the sun is setting and your light is more diffused.

Comment by Neuferland:
Not a bad idea but the overall shot leaves me really wanting. I can barely make out the tree in the top and yes my monitor is calibrated. The grassy area is dull and not very pleasing to the eye. A 3

This photo feels like you've gone outside, pointed your camera at a tree and pressed the button. The flash has highlighted the grass (flash can only travel a limited distance) and leaves little of interest in the frame. If your camera is capable, try a long exposure (30 sec or so) and highlight the tree with a torch. You might get some interestign effects that manage to evoke silence a bit better.

My attention goes to the brown grass and not the tree. I would have cropped this differently.
