Well, other posters have said it, but it perhaps bears repeating: both the de-sat and the stretch seem to have no point to them. What did you gain? What did your image gain? Stretch-wise, the interest in the organic forms of the tree has been dissipated - it has been given an unnatural feel - the curves of the branches are just all wrong. Selective de-sat is a process I have little affection for anyhow, but here it seems almost boubly pointless: that big blue sky was surely big enough anyhow, and was there really such colour in the grass and houses to make a distraction here?
I just don't understand your thought-processes in taking this approach I'm afraid. To my eye, what interest there was would be in the delicate patterns and shapes of the bare tree, but, as stated, I think stretching that has destroyed the interest. |

| The tree in the center is so dominant that there is really nothing else for the eye to explore in the photo. The result is a bit of an uninteresting photo. |

| To me, this image looks like it was stretched...something about the proportions are just skewed that way. In either way, I like the strong color of the sky, and that the remainder of the image looks to be B&W. It is an interesting shot, so much so that I felt led to comment (it takes something to make people stop and stay a while, so good on you for that). Have fun...good luck. |

| no impact, and no distinguished point of interest, i know the tree in the middle is centered, but all the other trees, which are underexposed, distract from it, and nothing about the center tree draws my eye in |
