 The compression needed to get this under 150K added a few too many artifacts in retrospect. I was going for the juxtaposition of the tangled sign pointing in all directions with the maze of tree branches behind it. My first submission with my new 20D :)

Rather unexciting, no?

This image seems excessively jpegd. It's very hard to read the signs as a result. Jpg artifacts are also visible on the darker tree branches. You have some nice colour in the bottom right. I think a little more post processing might have brought that up and improved the interest. 6

It's a little difficult to make out the sign with the silhouettes of the trees behind.

Good picture, little much on the contrast, think it could've done withut the color from the sun on the bottom right. Either a black and white or just waited till the sunset. Still a great picture.

The tengled theme comes accross well.
I wish the signs were a little more legible

I think this would look cooler in b/w. The sun at the bottom is very distracting for me

This would have been better if wasn't backlit. The problem here is that the tree sillouhette (did I spell that right?) makes the signs harder to see.

Although (based on your title) you probably wanted the signs to seem tabgled in the trees, they are your subject of the picture! Wish we could at least see the writing a little easier....flash?

A very difficult exposure shot, the signs are just a tad dark.
