 This is a one of many trees in my home town dying from a bark beatle that is elusive to say the least. As sad as it is that the color is a sign that the tree is doomed, it starts as a beautiful sight. I did auto levels and auto contrast. The rest is what I got.

Bark beetles are ravaging the forests in our neck of the woods too. You've managed to capture a beautiful shot in what might normally be viewed as an eyesore. The detail and color are great. The muted orange over the saturated blue is excellent. Composition is very pleasing, although I feel like I want to see a more distinct focal point. Except I'm having trouble pinning down what you could've done different with your angle without ruining what you've already got. (7)

An excellent image. Are the branches really as blue as that?

The blue background makes the shot. Nicely done.

The subject seems a little bland, but the light is beautiful!

Really has a nice presence to it aesthetically. Good sharpness and contrast of foreground and bacjground. It might have been better, if possible, to avoid the hot areas on the left.

Really beautiful image, professional quality. Would make a beautiful background in an advertising piece or some such. 9
