A perfect kind of shot for this challenge - meets the description but has interest - something more than just a tree. May be a tad on the darkish side. A quick check in Photoshop shows you could add a little using levels and/or curves to bring out the colors/detail more. Excellent composition overall.

I gave a 6 on this one. I like the shot in general but I think with some more processing and tweaking you really could have had a much stronger shot. The colors are a bit flat and the lighting a bit dark. Play with curves a bit and up the saturation and I think you would have a more DPC friendly shot.

Edit - I just did a quick edit of it. Give me a shout if I can post it somewhere.

Trading post...
Very lovely photo. I gave this a 7 in voting. It seemed to stand out a bit with the beautiful waves and the far off mountains. Very nice on the tree. The overall photo probably should have been a bit lighter. I love the child fishing. With just a little more editing, I would have given this a 10.

Beautiful photo, but very dark. This probably would've ribboned if the midtone levels were adjusted to be lighter in Photoshop. Hope it still does well.

A nice breezy day by the looks of the water. Nice detail in the sky - though dangerously near the sun.

this seems too dark to me. lightening the image might make it more appealing.

Looks like a really tough angle and time of day to create a great picture. For me the cons outweigh the pros. Like: scene, water, sky. Don't like: crop of tree, overall lighting, underexposure. For me palms work only in front lit or silhouette against a more sunety sky. 4

My eye is drawn to the fisherman not the tree
