I know what you mean about a step out on the higher branches. I too was tempted to pull my photo many times throughout the challenge. Your photo is absolutely beautiful, I love the colors and how bright it is, congrats on a high finish!

I like this but. Don't you hate that! I think you used the filter well - not too much or too little. Composition is good. The colors are excellent with one exception. I don't like is how dark the woman is - it makes her very hard when compared to the rest of the image. If she had been lightened and slightly de-sated the image would work much better for me. This is just my opinion so take it for what its worth. In this challenge, this is one of the better images I've seen so I'm giving it an 8 but I may be back to bump after viewing the rest.

Water color technique, not impressionism.

good selection of subject - every day activities. good capturing the light.
the post processing looks more like watercolors than the typical brush strokes or dots of impressionism, 6
