Greetings from the Critique Club!
Very good subject matter, the dead cypress does indeed look very empty of any life. I like too how the dead twig on the right seems to be reaching to the dead tree, so that adds some interest to the shot.
However...you know what I'm going to say....too centred!!! You can move around the focus areas in your camera, you don't have to have it on centre point all the time. Either bump it over a little, or just as you have things lined up and set to shoot, lean over a little. Shoot off centre. Create a little unbalance. There's nothing wrong with that, in fact it's pretty much expected in photography. Again, as I'm a low POV kinda person...yep, getting down there in the sawgrass/mud/cypress knees and shooting up, esp against such a dark bg, could have made a world of difference here. Never take just one or two shots for a challenge entry; take a whole whack of them. Try to take the time to do so. This challenge's winner shot over 1200 frames for her capture.
I'm not saying you need to shoot that many, but at least try to shoot a couple dozen or so. That'll give you more to choose from, and the opportunity to chimp through what you already have and go, 'OK, I have 4 really great shots from this angle. Now what other angles can I try?' and go from there.
