Greetings from the Critique Club
What a lovely, soft image. While, technically, it meets the Branch Challenge, it gives the appearance of "leaves" rather than "branches" and that must have cost you some points. IN addition, while the various greens are beautifully caught, it does suffer a bit from lack of contrast. It would be interesting to see this image after you treated it with Levels, maybe a bit of Contrast (also Curves if you're comfortable with that adjustment). Finally a touch of sharpening would, I think, strengthen this image lots.
Nevertheless, it's a striking image, even though it didn't score high in this Challenge. |

| Looks like leaves. Focus and contrast could have been stronger. |

Nice picture of leaves.
A bit of a stretch for branch because nothing is being highlighted about the branch, and the mood of the picture is set by the leaves. I'm not being too harsh in voting though, I just wanted you to know my feelings on the subject. |

| Nice image, great subject, so balanced. Read up about "thirds" and composition, it explains why things that are centred are not always as appealing as things off centre. |

| I do not think this is a branch. |

| Nice focus, but I think the placement could be more interesting. I like the fogginess--which isn't exactly blurriness--of the background. I just don't really get the title. |

| I really can't convince myself that I'm looking at a branch. I'm looking at leaves. Good colors. |

| A nice, soft photo. Subtle lighting and colors. I find it..peaceful. (Sorry, I'm not good at the technical critiquing) |

| Hehe, lovely expression, and nice composition and depth of field to pick it out. Even the lighting seems oppressive. |
