This birch tree has been buffeted by winds over the years, and it bends and returns to a standing position. I had hoped for a few fluffy clouds, but at this time of year, you take what you can get.

A dead looking tree on a bland background honestly doesn't appeal much to me. However, your focus is good. Usually trees with lots of branches look blurry, this does not. Also, without the title, it doesn't connect well with the challenge. However, with the title, I think it does well. ~Heather~

I like this as a resolution. The photo tells me to be "flexible" but also strong- as a tree stands up to the elements. Cropping is a little too tight. Perhaps it would be good to see the top of the middle tree. Also, it would be good to have something else in view to give the photo more depth.

A delicate little tree, with pleasing use of grey.

The title is very dramatic, but the picture is kind of dull. Sorry.

Nice. Would've been even better against a cloudless blue sky, but I know those are rare these days.
