| Thanks to everyone and especially to Neuferland for comments and critique. I think, my experiment (see above) worked - nobody accused me of being off-topic, and I found that about half of the viewers liked the colors and another half found them tacky and unnatural. Of course they are unnatural, that was the whole idea, if I kept the original sky color it would be one booooring photograph. Surprizingly, over a span of the past week I more-less made peace with the colors here, so while for me they still ARE tacky, the overall package kinda works, not as a photograph, but as a piece of pop-art. I can see it on a wall in some New York Upper West Side apartment :) |

Greetings from the Critique Club!
So, you didn't tell the results of yoru experiment! :)
This is square on topic and the tacky colors seem to have backfired a bit looking at your score, people liked it!
I personally look at it and say, "Cool colors, but very unnatural." The edges around the branches don't seem right for some reason, not exactly sure why.
The lines coming in and out are very nice, leading in, leading out. I'm thinking if you had just adjusted the colors to a more natural blue it would have done even better but we may never know, right?
Nice job.

| My favorite of the challenge. Love the starkness and clarity of the foreground as well as the gradation and striking color of the background. Hope this does well for you. |

| Bright, and nice contrast, but its just not doing it for me.It looks really staged and fake, and I think you could have done so much more with the topic. |

| What really caught my eye about this picture was the bright colors. But besides the colors nothing really sets it apart from other pictures of trees with branches. However, I like your idea and it's interesting. |

| One of the best shot to include tree branchs. This one has great colour. Did you use a hue/sat adjustment layer? Top 10, and 10 from me. Good luck. |

| 8 - Colors and the 'twisted silhouette' obviously really dramatize this shot. Criticism; I would like to see it more 'balanced', either with the main trunk to the left more and more 'branches' on the right, or perhaps centered. Very nice, even though I like the silhouetting, I wonder how this with a 'softened'/blurred effect would have worked. If possible, the only other thing would be if the whole of the canopy, at least on one side, could have been 'framed', may have also made this even more unique. |

| I like the background color, and the black subject reminds of one of those iPod commercials. |

| I would have liked to have seen the colors of the sky on this one... Personally, I don't really like the added pink/ purple colors. |

nice silhouette - are the colors natural or did you tweak them?
Either way, I like the over all effect. 9 |

| I like the composition, but the shocking pink-purple sky ruiins it for me. I'd have been fine with a blue sky, a white sky, or even a gray sky. |
