Greetings from the Critque Club!

This is a lovely image, the colors of the grass and trees are very nice. The sky seems a bit blown out, could use a touch of adjustment to really bring out the blue which in turn would bring out the green even more.

I'm looking at your final score and guessing the reason for this is people, from looking at the winners, were looking for a more definitive branch, not a bunch together and you can't see many individual branches. Also the focus seems just a bit soft. Perhaps if you had gone for just the upper branches of some of the trees against the blue sky, cutting out all the bushes on the bottom it might have done better.

Also the composition, you are all filled in on the right for a frame but have a hole on the left and the top. The top would be okay if you have the left filled in, bringing you in and around the picture then back out the other side is my thought process here.

Oh and I see this is your first submission! Well congratulations on taking the plunge, it's really a nice shot overall, just a few tweeks here and there and it can be an awesome shot.

A very nice picture, though I don't see many branches. The composition is good but I would've rated it higher if I saw how it had to do with branches instead of having to do with just trees and nature.

Nice green scene, but it lacks a subject.

Soft focus. This is a landscape. There is no clear highlighting of a branch.

Nice colours though

Doesn't say anything about branches, and not even a strong nature shot either, looking more like a poorly focused snapshot in your garden.

interesting.

I'm sorry, I don't think this is a very nice nature competition. I am supposed to look at the overrun hedges and bushes?

I like how you used the trees at the top of your photo as frames.

It is nice for nature but I cant really see any branches.

Looks hazy, and alittle to plain for my taste

i'm sorry, but this is a terrible photograph

Overall softness to this picture spoils it and the harsh shadows.
