At the End of the Branch - One Perfect Rose
by Tuckersmom

Comment:
Doesn't fit the challenge imo since there's no indication (apart from the title) that there's a branch involved in this shot at all. A subtle and beautiful shot otherwise.

There's no real composition here or attempt to lead the eye somewhere.

Fresh Start

I like the DOF here.Not keen on the desat, there's other untidy splashes of green left in the left. I kinda think it's being used here to try and spice up an otherwise uninteresting shot though. Could be stronger with the original colours.

Branch Armor

I love the shape and 'pose' of this branch. A good find. But, the horizon bang on centre is unadvisable (think rule of thirds) the composition could be improved as the overlaying of elements and positions doesn't help their relation with each other. and the aperture should be closed an f-stop or more to broaden the focus along the whole of the 'armour branch'.

A great pose, and very well composed, but such a pity you missed the sunlight and it's shrouded in shadows. What does the title mean?

Where Streams Meet

Comment:
Should really have ignored the horizon and sky I think and faced down to fill more (or all) of the frame with just the water course, especially the junction of the streams. Nice take on the theme.

Well Beaten Path

Comment:
The figure is out of focus, and the B&W just flattens the ground making it all seem evenly grassy and not 'well worn' at all.

Out of focus, and dull composition, looks like a snapshot in the garden.

"Caught a branch"

Comment:
Strong from on the branch, and good use of line to break it up and add interest, but the crop is too tight and makes it upclear what's attached to the branch.

Subtle end, new beginning

You could have cropped the waterfall closer to the branch wihtout losing any of the effectiveness of the movement of the water, but otherwise an excellent shot
