**Greetings from the Critique Club!**

Technically, this is a good photo. You have good DOF, it's sharp, clear, and focused. There is just a few recommendations I would make:

The photo seems to have a green tone to it, but I think it's just the moss that is covering the tree. The sprout, which I assume is your focal point, is in shadow, leaving the tree using up most of the light. A different angle would have worked better, maybe less tree, and less of a distracting background (such as the building). I also think a black and white would have worked well, to help tone down the colors and bring more of a contrast to the foreground from the background.

Overall, a nice, clear, crisp photo, and a great idea. Keep up the good work!

i think that it is a little too green.

Interesting picture, the composition is good. Not very creative, but I like it.

I really like the idea in this shot, and the tree and new branch themselves look beautiful - unfortunately i find the background kinda distracting.

Good use of DOF.

the shadows are distracting.

The subject in your title is shaded in darkness unfortunately. Could have waited a moment for the sun to light it.

Yes, and the title makes the story come alive

Beautiful lines & composition. I think the colors & contrast could use a bump, but otherwise great shot.
