I love the bright vibrant colours in this, that sun burst through the trees works wonderfully as well. Your composition is good and the exposure seems pretty even overall, but for a small blown out sky section but it doesn't distract. There's a few small bits of lens flare but it's very difficult to avoid when shooting at the angle you have so I wouldn't worry about it.

Welcome to Photocrowd’s ‘Landscapes’ contest for New Joiners! These contests are a chance for new members to introduce their photography to the community, and get a taste of how Photocrowd contests work. They can be entered by anyone within their first 28 days of joining Photocrowd. After 100 images have been submitted the contest closes and the Crowd will start rating the images. The Expert Judge will also be judging the images and writing reviews at the same time. All the winners, both Crowd and Expert, will be announced after 3 days of judging. Make sure you also check out our two other New Joiners contests - ‘People’ and ‘Animals’.

I'm hopeless at shots of trees, and even more so in B&W. This is a good example of using B&W to show off texture, It could have maybe done with a boost to the whites, just to bring up the contrast a little and I'd maybe have cropped it either square to frame the trees or 5:4 to lose a little from the right.
