I would have voted this a ten if just the tree was in color............. with the grass and small circle of rocks at the bottom in color too. Having the grass desaturated, the cloud shadows on the left would have given it a dynamite amount of contrast and balanced the entire picture to perfection. With one or two of the lone rocks on the left side left in color it would have been a spectacular picture.

Beautiful shot and great composition. The resulting contrast between the green and sky really creates an almost dream-like photo...... I give an 8 !

Stunning shot. Love the feeling from the clouds along with the tree. Super. 9 from me.

Probably not the best choice to alter. I think the desaturation detracts from the image rather than enhancing it.
