Greetings from the Critique Club.
I agree with some of the comments made below regarding the general lack of interesting composition in this shot. While it definitely does meet the challenge guidelines, it does not seem to have any real point of interest making it difficult for they eye to settle. There definitely ARE areas in focus here, but an increased depth of field would have helped somewhat.
For better impact you might chose a particularly interesting section or small area instead of trying to capture the entire bramble at once; leaving you with a more simplified composition. If you use Photoshop or similar program, a slight increase in contrast will also give you added ooomph.
Lighting and color look good, well handled.
I hope this helps. |

You may have gotten low points, but reading the comments I think most of them didn't get your point at all.
They all shout 'no focus' but if they had taken the time to look, they would've seen that tiny spot of sunlight in the middle, that's where my eye is drawn to.
And even the humor of your title they didn't get, did they.
It could have been just a bit sharper, but I think that little unsharpness might be due to resizing. If so, you should sharpen a little bit after resizing.But it doesn't bother me at all.
I think it's a great photo and more than others I've seen in the higher regions, this is exactly what the topic is about: branches.
I don't submit and vote anymore in the challenges, but I would've given you an 8.

| A little what? Just looks like a mess of tree branches to me. This photo looks like no thought was put into it. |

| I'm not sure I really understand the title. Also, The shot is very busy, so it is hard to tell where the focus is. |

| What a tangle! Too bad the focus isn't really sharp on the greens (or some other focal point) to keep your eye there. |

| The intent - I think to show the green branch against a baren background doesn't work in this case to make an interesting pic -- the background is just too busy and harsh. |

| This image is a little too busy without a point of focus. A good idea, but It would be nice to have something which draws the eye. |

| A messy tangle like that is shouting for you to find something, anything in there to focus on and rest our eyes. An animal or insect, something like that maybe? |
