I like the cropping of this one and the black and white, well done, I was wondering how many cameras and lenses we would see but you have managed to make this one different and stand out

A bit of fill flash would have brightened this up nicely so that the grain and knots etc. could be seen more clearly. It might brighten up a bit in Photoshop or whatever editing package you use but then the background will blow out so probably would have been better to go with my first suggestion so that the branch and background were closer to the same exposure.

The lighting is a bit flat and I would have cropped most of the grass in the foreground off to put more emphasis on the wooden shed

Nice shot but I would have cropped a bit of the dark area to the right off.

Beautiful picture, the only thing I would change is to crop the picture so the bright spot in the bottom right is taken out. I find it distracting.

Lack of focus spoils this shot.

I cant make out what the little girl is holding. This would have improved this shot, also needs better lighting, had she turned more towards the light or it fill flash had been used it would have improved the shot.
