Critique Club Review:

Fascinatng picture.

Your score suffered some because this picture doesn't really meet the challenge. I usually subtract 1 point for this when I vote. Others subtract dreadfully more.

I like that you did this in black and white. All the adjustmens give it sort of an old movie feel. I half expect Tarzan to show up at any minute.

I would like this picture better if the smaller foreground tree were not in the way. The relationship between the large tree and the structure would be more dramatic then.

The sky is a bit bright. It's left as an almost featureless blank canvas. As this is an advanced editing challenge, dodging and burning here would help.

Overall, I like this picture. It has sort of a dreamy/fairytale fascination.

Nicely lit and composed. When acorns get like that (often when they sweat in plastic collecting bags for instance) then duotone or black and white is the order of the day. Nicely done. 8.
