technically, this doesn't really meet the challenge spec... there are no trees. but it's too cool (including title), so i'm giving it an 8 anyway.

"Sentry of Decades"

this is really an amazing picture and title. if you could work this to pull the tree out some more from the background and get those clouds up a bit it would definitely be a 10. i love the foreground grass!

unlike many in this challenge, your cropping didn't cut off the tree, so i think it's very good. i wish the tree had a bit more contrast to pull it out from the background, though. i'd like to see some details on how you did this and wonder if a wider angle lens and closer proximity to the tree might have made it stand out more from the background. what did you shoot this with?

is it possible to take a bad shot at yosemite? this pic rocks and really cries out for more robust editing after the challenge. still it's a 9.5 now.

please give us some details... very interesting. it cries out for a bit more tweaking after the challenge is over, does it not? Based on potential as well as execution, I'm giving it a 9.
