This is a really vivid blue, and I really like it! It certainly gives a 'wow' when you first look at it. The silhouettes are good, sort of framing the land off in the distance, although the horizon line looks a little crooked. Not instantly seeing desolation as it's a very pretty image, but I suppose it does support loneliness to some degree.
This is excellent, though I wonder how much colorizing you had to use to get the two bands of darker blue with the lighter blue through the centre and around the branches.
Personally, this does not display desolation for me. What I do see is a wonky horizon and some dark silhoettes of trees that are too close. Also, the main subject of this pic is the branch, you have to admit it isnt very interesting... This would have been a better pic in general if you took it during sunset or rise? However, well done. Good try =)
