Hello from Critique Club :)

I agree with Tlemetry's comment. The sky and the tree as main attraction and that would be great to see just the open view with bit more color adjustments, because I think hand here is on our way to see what we're missing :\

Technically is not a bad photo. Because hands are very close to the camera, you have some burns on top. middle is correctly exposed, nice sharp colors. here is what would get you a much better place in this challenge, if you or your friend lay down the ground, and pull your hands up with the same composition of the fingers and have only the tree in the heart, keep rest of the view out of your finger frames(!), it probably would look much cooler than a fast photo impression.

I checked your work before, those photos are great. You do have very nice ideas and composition; you do know which ones will make it and which ones won't... I like the idea of "just enter, and let's see what happens" mentality, keeps you learn more, believe it or not.

Good luck on your next challenge :)

Great sky. The tree is the main focus of this composition. Interesting framing but its not something I prefer.

technically strong, but there isn't a purpose....other than having the heart...in the image, just not very "out of the box"

I'd have maybe cut off a little more from the bottom, the bright colors in each corner are distracting, but I like the idea and you have the best heart-made-out-of-my-hands shape of all the attempts I've seen in this challenge. Looks warm, wherever you are, and I'm jealous.

This is what I would call very basic vignetting!

i think with a better landscaoe (no car parks or chimneys) this would have ruled, maybe some selective desat also? BUt hey, nice job.
