From The Critique Club - !

You have done a great job of preserving detail in the whole image but as a result it feels fairly washed out. Reading the comments made during voting I agree it needs much more contrast, partially taste for me (I love high contrast images) but I think it would have really helped with the visual impact to bring in some more black and let the cloud tips just reach white making the whole thing really pop.

The composition is very nice, perhaps a tad tight on the left. I feel the tree is pointing in that direction and is a little jammed against the edge, but even with the same crop but just moving the whole crop left would make it feel less cramped. The tree does work very well with the square crop however.

I think with more contrast and a little more room on the left of the tree this image could have placed much higher in the challenge!

Good job :)

Including all of that impressive tree really makes the feel of this image.

nice subject and would be a wonderful image; but it looks a little washed out; perhaps adjusting the exposure and contrast would add something to it

Not enough black for me.
