Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Playing with trees
plying with trees today...not sure why. Click the links for larger (1000 px wide) images
http://www.sierrafirerescue.com/images/nature/oak_1.png This one was a long (30sec) exposure using the kit lens, it came out a little softer that I wanted. 
http://www.sierrafirerescue.com/images/nature/oak_2.png This was kit lens, f 11 at 40mm, was trying to capture more detail in the clouds. thanks Andy D70, 70-200VR, 18-70, 50 1.8, SB800

As you mentioned, the first one is rather soft, and that really detracts from the image. Maybe it's also the colours, but it's missing something that the second image has.
I really like the second image, it works really well.
The second photo is very nice BUT I love the first one because I would put this in the art classification and being a designer it has appeal to me.
Just goes to prove that everyones taste varies

I like trees, so I enjoyed viewing your "experiment" Andy.
I often shoot similar (but crappier) abstract or arty-type segments of trees, but never displayed them online for fear of ridicule or be reported to the men with straightjackets...
Nice work Andy, that first one has a magical quality.

Surprisingly, the first pic is as shot. I cropped it a bit, but no other changes. I have another where the coast guard flew throught the shot fairly low and left a light streak. Thanks all
