Interesting. I like the contrast of the B&W. Only thing...the crease in the background is a little distracting.

Some nice contrast areas on subject, but for me, the background reduces the overall contrast effect.

Good balance of bright vs dark. The subject and its presentation might look simple but just try to find it! Good eye. Very calming mood. I like it. 8

Elegant composition. I even like the line in the corner of the room (background).

This works well. Excellent contrast on the tree. I like that you chose to show only a little part of the leaves.

I love the imagery in thie photo and I'm glad its B&W. I think color would have distracted it. But I think it was oversharpened. You can see the white edges around the leaves and theres a dark black line between the trunk and the background on the light side of the tree.

But I'm scoring this one high because I love the movement in the photo!

very well seen. good crop.

Perhaps a little more contrast (the neutral background seems to diffuse the differences on the truck a bit), but nonetheless - an exquisite image. 8 (addendum - oops, sorry - forgot I can't vote!)

Very cool shot & title. I think you might have used a little too much neat image on the leaves, but great shot nonetheless.

Nice tree. Someone worked hard for a few years to get it to grow together like that. I'm sorry to say this, but I think the majority of the picture is in the middle gray area and, to me, that sorta knocks it out of the top scores. 7 for the wonderful imagination.

Very creative idea and nicely captured. Well done!

This trunk is very human, even feminine in profile. The contrast really accentuates this...good greyscale and a good catch.

clever work.. 7

An abstract image for the title? Whatever!.... I really like this tree and I don't know why... could it be the leaves, the trunk, or the interesting cropping. It must be the great range of tones.

Beautiful lighting really makes the most of the form and texture here. Personally I'd crop the right side out further, pretty much on the vertical line of the corner behind - I find the tree slightly too centred within the square frame. Lovely shot.

The bacground really detracts from the whole pic. Its a lovely shot, but that background line really draws my attention. 5
