MAybe focus could be a little better, but you really got robbed! there is great negative white/black quality to this and strong compositional elements.
This could have been made stronger by exposing more for the 7th zone. As is, a lot of high values are lost. Regardless, it is an interesting study. Bumping up.
Foreground is overexposed, along with the brightest whites in the tree. The black background is blurred, losing that AA sharpness in the full range of zones. A beautiful image nonetheless.
