This was a fun shoot ... when it said single tree I automatically thought Fake nikau from the city.
These are designed and work well in our urban landscape.

Curved

Saturated
Darkened some spots oan the trunk

Color saturation and hue are very good. Brightness and contrast are good overall. A couple of teh highlights on the "fronds" of the "tree" are washed out and very close to burn out. Still acceptable though.
Very nice blue on the sky. Cloud pattern isn't the best, but I'm not sure how to get clouds to do what the photographer wants. ;-)
I would agree with other comments that cropping the bottom to hid the mesh would result in a cleaner, less distracting picture.
Overall I like this picture, and with the suggested crop I would have given it a 7 or 8. Without, about a 6.
