Greetings from the Critique Club Rob,

Congrats on your first entry! You received a pretty low score and all your comments are positive, which doesn’t help you to do much to improve.
The background sets a great mood. The black borders, the grain and the specs give it a worn out/used feel to it. The subject just isn’t strong enough to carry the photo though. Maybe a branch with more interest would help? I know there is not much exciting about a branch, but with a background like this you set a great mood to tell a story and the branch just didn’t do it for most people.

Hope this helped. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

nice shadow, good contrast and nice naturally made border. the bottom of the branches makes them look connected.

Very emotive. Your meaning is clear even without a title. Loneliness.

I don't know whether I like this because it has the hard shadows or if it would be better without tham. Quite a good visual look though - 6
