Thanks Mark. This is the same oak tree as in my free study. Almost exactly the same view, except 10 feet further back, 2 feet lower, and slightly wetter.

This is a great shot, lovely contrast in tones and composition is also splendid. Didn't you use this tree in another shot recently?

Clever and unusual perspective - very well done. I like the added bonus of the reflection in the pooled water, leading your eye straight to the subject.

This is definitely my favorite in this challenge. I like the subject, composition, the way water reflection leads your eye to the curvy lines of the tree and the rays of sun, also the fact that straight lines are almost nonexistent in this picture. Light is very nicely balanced, enough details in the shadows are crucial for this picture. For me a 10.
