I like the composition, but I think you need to get you get more blacks darker to give the image a little more depth.

You have the potential of a really good shot but it is too muddy or flat in tone. I have the habit of going a bit too high contrast when shooting black and white and am always told to bracket your shots. Bracketing is a good habit to get into but I forget to practice it myself. I'd like to see tne tree black and it would make the photo, pop and give it more depth and drama.

Seems washed out, I think you should adjust the brightness/contrast. Also a not so centered composition might look good.

I like the imagery of this photo. The tree doesn't look quite dead, but dying certainly. This to me brings to mind the loneliness of dying and solitude so it fits the challenge well in my opinion. I like the lighting, my main negative is the focus, I'm not sure if it is purposefully soft but that aspect detracts for me, I wish it was sharper focused because the stark lines of the tree and the black & white aspect of the image seems to call for it to me. Other than that its a sound photo. 6

Pretty, though I'd like to see more contrast.

There are leaves, so I wouldn't call it "dead", just "dormant". It's shape contrasts well with the sky, but the effect is diluted by the low contrast of this image, which to me doesn't do anything to help the image.

DEFINATELY ALONE AND HANING ON...... The dirt road really helps convey the remoteness and isolation. Good Photo.

Nice black and white shot...definately has a lonely feel to it.

Monitor problem? I hate when that happens. Good composition. I'll go ahead and score it as if there wasn't a problem. 7

Feels a little washed out. I do like that you can still make out details in the road and on the tree.

This is just a bit too bright.. there are no real blacks in the picture and the sky is overexposed. Maybe not centering the subject and showing more of the landscape would enhance the feeling of aloneness?

Nice idea. I think it need a little more contrast. 6.

ack! so grey. CONTRAST!

The image looks a little faded. There doesn't seem to be any rich black tones. Some more contrast or slightly darkening the image might of helped this. I like the composition however.

Contrast is too low. Subjet should be off centered .

well composed and good subject. A little too bright imo - I'd drop the brightness and up the contrast a bit. Just a thought.
