Greetings from the critique club!!
WOW. I really like this shot. While there may not be one branch that is the main focus, It is a very nice shot. The framing seems a little off, perhaps if you had cropped out the part of a tree on the left, or placed something (maybe the sun?) into the dip. As for the colors, they are striking, and the contrast of the trees is very nice. I truly would have rated this one much higher than the 4.7 you got, hope it doesn't discourage you. You really have a very nice shot here.

Not crisp enough. Did you take it handheld at a slow shutter? Also, the leaning branch on the left kinda of throws the whole photo off.

Nature's true beauty - beautifully captured. The branch connection is pretty tenuous but still a 6

Yes, strong contrast....but the contrast is a bit too strong for my taste. The sunset IS nice--love the colors...however...if only I could see the sun!

The branches are merely incidental in this composition, and could have been pincked out better, getting closer or further up in the frame.

beautiful clouds and sky, but dont really convey a strong sense of "branch" for this challenge. the composition could be improved too.
