Swinging Branches

Great action shot, strong effective lines. You could go even further with the crop and lose the roof of the amusement ride. The wires and children in the chairs is enough information for the viewer. Less is more, yeah? I would also have gone for a portrait shot and shifted the negative space around slightly from the right so it's below their feet and adds to their elevation over our heads.

Not sure if it was light that day or from the post processing but I like how the ephemeral quality the dead branches have, which along with the powerful and shallow DOF really make the green leafy branches stand out. Composition could be a little more striking though.

Branching to the heavens...

Comment:
Good teture in the bark, and line in the branches and tree trunk. Seems to be a slight lack of focal point (or resting places) for the eyes. Maybe something like for eg: a bird resting on a branch?

Antlers
by Sammie

Comment:
Good contrast picking out the antlers on the dark background The focus on the eyes could be sharper, since that's where human instinct is naturally drawn to initially. And the stooped pose could be improved. It's not grazing, and it's not up and alert. Seems a touch awkward.

The patchy background should be darker and plain to help the fine threads stand out. And such an open aperture has made the DOF too narrow, making the branch kind of incidental to the shot.

Highlighted texture

Comment:
Not too keen on the border. But I like the canopy effect, and dappled light

Reaching Out

Good use of line and form.

Out on a limb

Comment:
Good use of line, effective focal point in the bird, although there may be a little too much space to the left.

Dragonflight
by Pug-H

Comment:
Simple and very effective use of strong contrast and a delicate line in the twig, and good use of the dragonflys/mayflies (whatever they are) to add scale, and create a more narrative image which can lead the eyes. The motion of the top fly nicely complements the static one.

A crop to include just the head and antlers would be better. The focus could be sharper too.
