		| | whats up with the black spots?  Are they birds?  To bad you couldn't clone them out.  All except for that and the left bottom being a little dark.  Great shot otherwise. |

		| | A bit dark, I am not sure if it strengthens the picture or weakens it. Still there is something that this picture is lacking but it isn't beauty that is for sure. |

		| | E-Rock, I have an awesome picture of that tree as well! The rotten limbs are slowly falling off of it more and more.  Would like to see the pink in the granite a little more and the white of the tree trunk a little more though, but I'm sure you lose the interest in the sky. But a very surreal picture overall!! 8 |

		| | Gorgeous photo!  The black specks hurt it a bit, though - you can't tell if perhaps they're birds in the distance, or if it's just debris in the camera.  Great composition! |

		| | If the left side of the image could have been lightened just a hair this image would have scored higher.  This darkness hides details I would have loved to see.   I like hte light on the tree - pulls your eye to the tree.  8 |

		| | Really nice capture. Works well for me. When I lay a rule on the horizon it's almost bang-on squared up, but there's an overall sense of lean to the left because the black area on the left is so massive. I think it would balance better if it were rotatted ccw a quarter of a degree or so. Perhaps a tad more shadow detail, but that may be a monitor issue. Strong entry. |

		| | There is a lot of darkness. The tree is supposed to be the subject (I assume) but competes with the blueness and beauty of the sky. | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/27/2005 11:16:33 PM | 
		| | like the overall effects.  Good shot. |

		| | I like this image a lot, but for the black specks in several places on the sky. as it is, I'd rate 7 | 
 | 
		
			|  | 04/27/2005 10:35:03 PM | 
		| | I love the contrast between all of the colors here.  The sky is such a brilliant blue, the grass so green....and when melded with the orange-brown of the dirt and slight yellow of the tree....it's lovely :-) |
