Shot this as low as I could go to get a grass perspective of the tree, possibly not the most inspiring of singled out trees but its my attempt anyhow:

I like this, but would've been so much better had you cut off the bottom 3rd where the grass gets blurry. This part is just too distracting and overwhelming.
less blur on foreground, even though I feel you did this cause you liked it. perhaps less gradient on sky? The grass right up front..one blade..white/yellow keeps making me look away from the tree. I do feel you met the challenge 5 and nice colours 6 ..so I give your shot a 6..gl in challenge :-)
