Critique Club Review:

Color, saturation, brightness, contrast, and hue are excellent!

The tree does seem a bit soft in comparison to the grass, but that could be a bit of illusion.

I too would have like a bit wider frame. The tree travelling off the edges is a little less satisfying.

I would really like to see you come back and take this photo again at sunrise, sunset, or on a stormy day, to fill in the featureless sky. All that empty sky is a blank canvas waiting for your brush.

Very nicely done, and should have scored a bit higher.

I wish I could be sitting under this survivor's shade, even if the moment wasn't long, I feel I could start all over again.

I really like this. My only suggestions would've been to zoom out a little so the entire tree was in the frame and possibly do this at a different time of day (sunrise or sunset maybe) so that the sky was more interesting.

I like the color and processing. It would have been even better with some black storm clouds in the background. 6

The overall effect looks highly processed - but it does work and I like the golden field.

I wish the tree had been sharper in focus. I also think a slightly loser frame might make this more visually dynamic.
