A tree red branch
by maxlevay

Comment:
Too closely cropped and poorly positioned losing most of your subject off frame causing a poor composition. The desat picks out the red colour, but seems excessive (just for the sake of using it) and the branch would probably stand out well on it's own anyway since it's quite a striking red. The focus is terrible as well, considering the red branch is the only thing you want focused it's just plain sloppy to lose most of it.

Dieing branch
by pkarkare

Comment:
It's spelt dying. Despite this, the shot is uninteresting, the close crop and short DOF don't seem to serve any purpose. Anything at all on the twig to break the monotony of the line would have helped: an insect, a bird... anything, and it needn't even be in the foreground and in focus.

Ninja Princess

Comment:
Before I read the title I thought this was a clever analogy to the branch of the children of Abraham, with the Hijab on the model. Pity because it's much stronger than a ninja?!?! holding a twig. Where's the connection?

Badly focused as well.

Branch: Bearer of Good Times

Comment:
Seems very dark, (maybe adjust your WB for cloudy conditions), and this causes the white rope to stand out and rob all the attention. A more muted colour than white would help.

Comment:
The strange lighting from the flash (if that's what it is) makes for an odd appearance on the branch, almost like it's a composite image.

Comment:
The badly focused branch in the foreground is distracting, but nice scale and idea.

Complicated Nature

Comment:
Nothing to break the pattern or focus the eye on, and the twig in the foreground should be removed.

The branch that feeds

Comment:
A good find, and I like the contrasts and fluid forms, but the focus doesn't lead the eye anywhere.

Dead Branch Drifting

Comment:
Out of focus, and the skewed line of the river bank bang in the centre makes for a poor composition.

A Bat, Branch Dancer.

Comment:
The bat is the subject here, and the branch seems to be nothing more than a prop. The post production effects look to be used purely for the sake of using effects too.
