Nice shot, Rob. To improve it a bit, try two different crops: one with most of the right side removed so the branch ends closer to the right edge and one much wider (if you have the pixels in the original). Both would move the branch out of the middle.

This has a quiet beauty and absolutely works for me, although I will confess that my brain keeps wanting to see this in portrait orientation, with the branches coming in from the top.

Love the details in the textures. Very nice soft mood you created.

This definitely fits the challenge very nicely, and is well-focused with overall nice lighting. Some things that maybe could have brought this a higher score - there are a lot of branches, and so it's a little hard to focus on anything specifically. I'm especially distracted by the branches on the left side and small ones coming up from the bottom. I do think you have a very strong background with some nice variations in shades that give depth.
