Hi, thanks for your entries. I like your concept and your willingness to try something different. And I do like the colour scheme in #240, which is why I ranked it highest.As I've commented to other designers, the natural look was not what I came into the contest thinking I wanted, but when it is done well, it works. I think the font for the tagline in #240 also works best.
The main problem I have with your design is that it feels unfinished. The branches don't vanish subtly but simply end.I also don't feel the various elements relate to each other very well. the necklace on the right looks . . . lonely. Since I've extended the contest, maybe you will have a chance to flesh it out some more?
