Greetings from the Critique Club!

This is a very cool shot on several levels, I like the lines of the branches, I like the sun peeking through the branch, I like the overall feel with the black and white.

Now, what is wrong you ask? Well, things I'm sure you've already heard, hang on, let me check the comments. :::Scrolling down::::

Yep, the electrical wires, while they do add more lines to the shot and could work with it, the problem I have is the size of them compared to the branches. Too bad this was a basic challenge.

What I would like to see if the shot without the lines and see if that also affects the way I look at the halo and sun spots caused because with the extra lines they too are a bit distracting. But maybe with the lines removed..............

But again, the thorns, the branches, nice job, if you redo this shot (clone out the lines) I would love to see the results.

A stunning effect to break the branch, but the circle around the edge and the telephone wires are distracting.

I don't really like the halo and spots, and the wires are distracting.

Neat abstract. At first I thought the wires distracting, but then I found them integral. Good job.

Great photo, really like the angle. Maybe the focus could have been better?

Light through the branches is nice. May want to try to clone out the wires in the background.
