The contrast between the wild chaotic tree and the uniform soldier trees stands out for me. Only thing I'd do is crop a bit from the top and the right to remove the black splodge that is instrusive in the top right

Agree with Smeggy. Might go a bit further with the crop and make sure the contrast sticks out - wasn't immediately obvious to me as I was staring at the trees in the distance first. I also think that a mono conversion should be tried - play around with the colour mix to find something that emphasises shape (you would of course lose the colour tones!)

Gorgeous. Although I love the golden colours, I agree with TonyM about the mono conversion; in mono the contrasting forms may become more emphasised.

Agree with this.

Overall though, I really like it for the contrast between the one wild tree and all the others. Plus I don't think the HDR is overdone.
