This works very well. the drops of light spots pull my eyes everywhere while the dark spot pulls me back in. I'll be surprised if this isnt in the top 5.

Very nice subject, color and lines. Seem to tilt my head when viewing this - would almost wish you rotated 90 degrees clockwise and the flipped horizontally so my eyes naturally fall across the photo from left to right and top to bottom. I like it though!

Subject is in focus and very eye appealing (pun intended). The one drawback to this IMO is the composition. the center composition with falloff out at the top right and bottom left corners really don't do anything for the subject and add as a distraction instead of assisting in telling the story. Suggestion would have been to fill the entire frame with your subject and let the swirls roll the eye all around the photo, Very nice subject and thought though,

Great shot. It looks so brittle that even a gentle breeze would tear it apart. Nice photo.

You really make that tree seem almost powerless to whats about to come -OR- It stands strong amongst a passing storm. Either way, it tells a great story. I wish this one did better in the challenge, because I love the dynamics of it. Very nice job!

This is a Tom F. Specialty right here. The flush angle. The pure white light. The sharp clean edges. You certainly have a style developing here. But I'm still partial to your landscapes.
