Wow, impressive tree. I know you wanted to include dappled light in this picture, but I would like to see some outtakes after the challenge, where citizen is more visible (closer probably). I'm sure it has interesting texture. Now the eye is drawn to the branches and the building behind.

I love the lighting here. The textures and detail work nicely too.

Comment by ELLIPS:
Meets completely the challenge, and the composition is interesting as well.

The exposure is particularly well managed, in very difficult condition.

One of the best I saw so far

Comment by surfdabbler:
Very peacefull scene. It has a blue-green hue, and might benefit from enhancing the reds in the colour balance.

I dont think dandelion shots work so well in sepia. It's really something to me that needs to be in color to see the full detail of it. Im sure it's nicer in color though!

Comment by svstoltz:
There is a rule of thumb about the horizon in this case applicable to the waters edge. It should not be in the middle but rather mostly water or mostly trees. the middle of the frame is kind of empty. I find myself looking hard at the small bush before I consider the more interesting large trees that are perhaps too far off to either left or right. Maybe just one tree and more refelction.
