Greetings From the Critique Club

First Impressions:
very busy photograph; I think posthumous hit the nail on the head in describing it as frantic

Technical (Comp, lighting, color, focus):
my thoughts are had this been a positive image your composition would have been right on the mark; for me, as a negative image I feel the tree should have been closer to center which might have elimated the overall busy-ness of this photo. for some reason when I look at this my eye is drawn the right hand side (looking at the photo) and I'm not sure that's what you had in mind - then again, it could just be my eyesight.
I think the white part of your boarder should have been narrower or the black part wider

Challenge:
yes you have a negative image

Artistic/Emotion:
I would say this is an artistic piece that boarders on being an abstract.
Emotionaly? I don't have any opinion about this emotionally. Although it does make me think of a dark stormy night

Summary:
A nice negative photo that needs a little more of a "pop" or "wow" factor.

The lack of sharpness and the fussy background don't seem to work here as in some other entries.
