An appealing composition with great mid-tones. Decent B&W.
On the technical side it does look as though this does not have a true black point. This was probably because you wanted to highlight the mid-tones. You could still get both by adjusting the tones with a varity of techniques which depend on the method used to post-process B&W.
The image does not a have a true focal point and might be improved if you chose a particular object in the frame and made it an obvious central focal point. The downward facing tree trunk could be that point but it is too small in the image right now to fit the bill.
If you got closer to make the tree trunk bigger in the frame and looked upward at an even lower angle then you already are then the background trees would be even more pronounced in the image and give it an even more "misty" appearance. The dirt are on the left of the image that adds very little to the composition would be out of the frame entirely.
You should have removed the white object to the right of the tree trunk. It acts as a distraction to this overall wonderful scene. |

Sorry for the form-letter type commentary. I̢۪m going to try to give almost everyone at least this breakdown to start. I would be happy to offer a more detailed opinion if you would like, though I don̢۪t consider myself a very knowledgeable photographer.
Here is how I broke down my score for your submission.
Content: 1/4 (Is the subject compelling? Does the choice of content match the challenge?)
Composition: 2/2 (Is the work well balanced and successful?)
Color/Light: 2/2 (Is light and or color used with skill and artistic intent?)
Clarity: 2/2 (Is the picture in focus? Are the elements clear?)
Total:7/10

| A little more contrast and it gets a 10 from me. Maybe try same different methods of converting to B&W? It seems very gray. |

| Looks like a scene from one of those horror flicks. I suppose you could make this better by summoning in some more fog before you took it. |

| I find this a fitting subject for the challenge. A cool perspective, and I like the setting and the 'feel' of the image, but I kind of feel like a strong focal point could strengthen the shot. It's kind of there, but needs a little 'oomph' IMO. |

| Very moody but would have liked to see more darkness in the nooks and crannies...at the moment it feels a little too open and flat. Overall, like it. |
