This shot looks quite speckled for some reason to me, like noise or something. I like the blueness. The cloud adds to this as well. I'm not so sure about the tree. I think had the focus been better on the tree it would be better. Overall a nice blue shot. Good luck in the challenge.

nice blue sky but not very interesting with the tree on one side and no particular subject for the eye to focus on.

challenge -- met
technical -- some pixelation in the sky, and around the tree. oversharpened or low end camera?
composition -- to be honest, not very exciting. there's not enough going on in the picture for me to want to spend much time studying it. i do love the colors though (good thing i like blue, otherwise this challenge would be tough to judge ;)

Poor sharpness and too much compression leaves visible jpeg artefacts.

If the tree was in focus, this picture would be much improved!

Yes, but I don't know as the photo is anything more than okay.

This has potential, but I don't think like this I would expect to see it in the paper. Without the sun so bright and a little more focused on the helicopter, it might make it but with the bright sun like this, without a more dynamic backdrop, it would be on the cutting room floor. - Inspzil

image seems to be of poor quality(it chops off a few points) but nice idea bails it a bit
