A lovely black and white photograph.
Initially, I voted this lower... simply because I didn't take the time to enjoy the beauty and peacefulness this photograph had to offer. I was speedvoting.

Anyhow, I love the contrast in the photograph. The detail of the clouds way off in the background is beautiful!
Love the bright reflection of the water...
Great job!
Bumping score.

What a spot to rest! I could see going under this big tree, relaxing, reading a good book. Taking in the peacefulness that this photo portrays.
Lovely.

Strawberry Creek

There is a lot going on in this photograph, which is distracting.
It seems like the main focus was to be the creek and falls, but the eye seems to roam and wander all over the photo. A different composition and different exposure or time of day (?) may have worked better

Seems a little snapshot-ish, in my opinion.
It's a flat image. There doesn't seem to be a depth... I'm guessing it was mid day when you shot this, when the sun is high...
maybe at a different time of day, when the sun was setting or rising would have looked nice.

Calm in the night

I still haven't gotten around to night photography... let alone shooting the stars (something I want to do).
This is an interesting shot. Little noisy, but nice glow to it.

I like the reflections in the pond/lake... but gotta say, the trees look like stumps with the cropping you've used.
Nice warm colors, however.
A nice photo.

I LOVE the sky here! Not so fond of the lighting on the tree...
I really want to be able to shoot a starry night like this... on my list of things to photograph! :)

Dead Beauty

A very gray photo. Not feeling it. Maybe upping the blacks or contrast would have helped out some? I don't know.
There also looks to be some slight haloing?
Maybe a different angle, time of day, in color? I dunno... something I can't quite put my finger on.

Overall, this isn't a photo I really enjoy... but that's just my opinion.
I say this because the lighting seems harsh, there is a lot going on in the photo... and it appears to be shot straight on. I think a different angle would have helped made it more interesting... and perhaps a different time of day?
But, you entered the challenge, and I did not... so you accomplished more than me here. :)
