A little late for the branches challenge, but this one really captures fall in full force. The leaves are almost gone and the inter-twining of branchs adds to the busy factor.

I just don't like the post-processing here. There are distracting purples and greens in the background.

Seemed overprocessed. I am seeing some strange colors in the background light. There is quite a bit of bad light balance here. Perhaps an exposure compensation at the time of the shot might have helped, as well as adding a neutral density filter to balance the light better. If your camera doesn"s allow a filter, buy one anyway and hold it in front of the camera. It should still give the same result.

You seem to have interesing subject there but not very well performed in my opinon. Litle tilted and dont find the processing original or creative. Also litle far streching considering the challenge subject.

very nice photo.

sorry, your post processing is not too my taste. I like the concept and the angle of the shot.

the highlights are a bit too strong. I love the pink that's sprinkled all around.

I do generally like selective desaturation however here it doesn't really work for me. The one bright green area in the middle of the picture seems to be to small to make sense of it and the purple off to the sides also ends up being a little off balance. Maybe the pink blossems could have stood out more to create more interest, as it was it took me a minute to realize they were pink.

Would have been better in color.

Too much post-processing for me. You lose what I imagine is a really nice picture.

Very nice picture. Branches are definately busy. The saturation level are interesting. Nice touch.

Nice idea...this would score higher if the post-processing wasn't so extreme. I like the composition.
