you were punished by the conservative voting crowd here. this image is better than the score it got, both in general and with specific reference to this challenge. i think it should have scored in the range of 6, myself.

One of the most creative entries in this otherwise oh so conservative challenge.

Interesting choice to de-focus the subject -- makes one stop and consider what's otherwise a pretty ordinary and largely monochromatic composition. Such daring is rarely rewarded at DPC, but maybe you'll do better than usual : )

extra points for doing something different.

like it because it's different, clever. nice sharp on the foreground leaves. hope you're not killed by the DNMC people. 7 for me.

Hard to say which single tree is the subject here. The branch in focus or the blurry one is the field...

I think I might have liked it better if the distant tree were in focus. Obviously you meant to do this, and that is the reason why you left the foreground branches in, but it doesn't work for my compositional aesthetics. Anyway, the colors surrounding the tree look very nice, and there are some defined lines, but the blur just detracts from the image.

interesting perspective, but doesn't work for me as a subject
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice picture but I think the tree should have been in focus.

This is quite an exciting photo. The near and far perspective works very well. 8.
