Greetings from the Critique Club. I'm leaving this critique because you clicked "I would like an indepth critique on my submission" when you submitted.
Appropriateness for challenge - it's a photo of a branch in the topic branch - you found a good subject.
Color & Exposure - the color is wonderfully vibrant, perhaps a little overexposed, but the backlit nature of the subject actually works as a stylistic choice. It's much more like graphic art than photography as a style.
Composition - I think this is what hurt your photo the most. The composition lacks an overall coherence. The large mass of leaves are not uniform enough to create a single subject, and the lines of the branches and twigs are too chaotic to present a clear path for the eye to follow. The centering of the branch horizontally doesn't help to give any visual pop to the photo. I think your subject has a lot of merit and it's entirely likely that a closeup or crop of other elements within this shot could yield as much more pleasing photo.
I hope to see more of your photos in the future. |

| I see what I think you are going for, but the shot is way too busy. Maybe a closer crop on the leaves? |

| A beautiful study of the dappled light peppered through the leaves, although there is nothing really powerful to lead the eye. Some new element like a ball stuck up there or if a nature theme is what you prefer then a bird or even a nest highlighted against the leaves to break the uniformity maybe? |
