Greetings from the Critique Club!
A very interesting shot of an old tree - I didn't know sycamores grew that far north.
Couldn't figure out at first how you got this effect, I was thinking it was almost a slow zoomblur stopped halfway. But now I see it's a lensbaby, it all makes sense :-) Very odd combination of sharp and soft which is probably why it didn't do well; voters tend to like sharp images. Toss in a shallow dof challenge and makes it all the more fun to look at and interpret. Comp is a little too centred for me but the separation of fore-, mid- and background is something truly special. Wish it had done a little better but that's DPC for you.
Keep up the good work!

| Weird! Very cool though. You got wonderful contrast between the leaves and the background. |

| Lovely blur. I like the smooth darker tones contrasting with the sharper white branches. The centered subject and the bands of dark and lighter tones work very well for me. The tree is quite beautiful but I feel there is more to this than just the tree. One of my favorites. |

| The lo-fi approach works very well here, and I'm interested to check back and see the technique you've used. |

I think this is the reverse of Shallow Depth of Field. The blur is great but there is nothing in the foreground in
focus. |
