We have this wonderful park here about 100 metres from our front door. Lovely to go for walks in the early evening.
The image was cropped, darkened slightly, sharpened and run through neat-image twice to give the "watercolour-look" of the trees.

Nice spring-time shot. colours are good. Sky a bit grey, but you can only picture what's there.

Ohhhh yeah! Lovely colors - good design! Was the weather about to change dramatically? (The light is so... ominous).

Lucky you with this for a backyard. Beautiful color.

Colorful trees on an overcast day -- interesting combination. The trees seem cheerful, but the framing is very somber.

This is a beautiful picture, but it feels like it has a greyish cast to it. Have you considered brightening it up a bit in Photoshop. I'd love to see the colors with a bit more intensity.

Great colors, especially the subdued sky, and composition. But, where is the town or village? This ia a great shot, so I am deducting a single point for the challenge miss.

Water and sky are of strange color. I'd say it's an autumn storm coming. Was it really like that or some funny processing?

Without anything else in the foreground the tree seems to be more of a distraction rather than a framing element.

great colors in the trees. too bad the sky seems so blah. i like how the close tree frames the far trees.

If this was just a little bit brighter, it would be a lot better

Nice lighting, excellent use of the foreground tree to frame the shot. I just wish the sky were a brilliant blue with lots of puffy clouds, reflected in the water... But you did a wonderful job with what you had to work with. A very peaceful, serene image.

Lovely....what is not to like? I think this is super with good colors and nice composition.

I like the way you used the tree in the forground to frame the picture.

I like the color alot. I might have cropped at little more in on the right, so that the tree trunk comprises the whole of the right frame.

I really like this image. I find it looks like the noise reduction was a bit too much. NOt sure if maybe it was that the shutter was open and the wind was blowing the trees for the blurr or if you used NeatImage or NoiseNinja. I find it has a really arty feel. I like it a lot, but the blur is a bit distracting. - 8
