A lovely picture and such a great tree against an urban background with well thought out composition and a nice colour palette. This image has a very calming feel. One piece of constructive criticism is that I would like to have seen a bit more contrast between the highlights and shadows, it would have given it a bit more 'oomph' in my opinion.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked below 1000 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Trees are an essential and welcome component of the urban environment. The ‘lungs of the city’, urban trees are prized as much for their welcome natural appearance as they are for their powers of filtration. In this contest we’re exploring the ways in which urban planners use trees to break up the bricks and the concrete, and how we engage with trees in our urban habitats. For some inspiration, here are two examples from the master, Cartier-Bresson - <a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/265234">Allee du Prado</a> , and <a href="http://www.artnet.com/artists/henri-cartier-bresson/jardins-du-palais-royal-paris-XpJsPWxb4jFPhtp7D_ntOQ2">Jardins du Palais Royal</a>
