Not quite as clean as id wish, but ive been meaning to submit something the last few months, but have been intimidated by all the amazing work here.

Critique Club Review:

Meets Challenge.

With the small size of the leaves, and the long exposure time, the picture comes across as if the focus were a bit off.

There is really too much silhouette here. Also the trees seem crowded together and compete for attention. The eye is pulled all over the frame by the different shapes and sizes in a haphazard manner. The end result is that nothing comes across as the point of interest. Perhaps if you had limited it to a single tree, it could have made for a more effective picture with the sky and lake for balance.

Don't be intimidated by the others here. Some have been at their craft for a very long time, some have more resources (read $$$$). Learn from them, and find your own style and do what pleases you. And besides, you beat 42 other people first crack out of the box. Not bad for a first try.
