I have always found this tree a charm, so had to shoot this for this challenge. I have made more than one trip to this place. As I was shooting for the tree, I was carried away by the scene that was enfolding. Finally, I decided to include this for sharing. :-)
Good Day!

Really great and lovely photo, but I dont think it meets the challenge. The tree is not the main subject of this photo, in fact, it's pretty much unimportant! I think if you cropped the island out, you'd have a much stronger shot!
Seriously gorgeous orange tones and the sun looks great and a great DOF. I'd consider cropping out the ripples in the foreground, i think it detracts a little bit.
Oh.. so much potential! This image has a lot going for it, but is held back by a few things. firstly (and easily fixed) is the wonky horizon, which is most noticeable on the water line. Water is always perfectly horizontal, so it is an easy fix with a rotation of the image. The other thing is the placement of the tree. I suspect it was partially-cropped like that in the original frame, but if not, then it was cropped too harshly for my liking.
I know you needed the tree to fit the challenge, but I think it is unnecessary to the image in general. I think the image is beautiful with just the boat, the birds and the sunset. I'd also clone out some of the buoys.
WOW - the sun, birds, a city, a boat AND a tree. Nice. If I were to do a thing, I'd not have it cropped so tightly to the tree on the right. I like the diagonal line created, connecting the sun, boat and bench.
nice picture. good job incorporating a single tree into it... but you didn't even keep the whole thing in photo. It is cropped off. doesn't really meet the challenge for me. the tree isn't the main subject. 2
