At sunset a single beam penetrated the edge of the woods to illuminate only this. Just a very few dark leaf shapes were visible in the background, and curves adjustment took care of those.
Otherwise, just did the basics; colour/saturation, USM, bit of burn and dodge, resize, save for web

Nice - the black space all around works great in bringing the focus to the small tree. Cloning out the green items by the foot of the tree might have helped make the focus there even stronger. Still - I really like this shot and gave it an 8 overall.
Like the lighting and I like the concept. I think a bit of a tighter crop would have worked better here, particularly one that lopped off a bit of the growth at the bottom left to give even more attention to the highlighted piece of plant in the center (which the lighting has basically put a spotlight on). Nice shot, good luck.
don't let a critter get ya out in the dark while shooting pics :-) overall i give this a 8..nice textures, leading lines with the light, etc. gl in challenge :-)
