Distracting border.

Nice image but feels over sharpened to me.

If I ignore the border which is way over done, this is a worthy picture. Border drops it by 2 points.

Generic but unique ...

Comment:
I see the generic but not the unique. The thing that moves this down in my scoring is first the composition, and second a subject that doesn't hold my interest. Maybe I'm just not looking at it right.

Well that's certainly bizarre! Nicely captured. What the heck is it?

A Stormy 16th

Comment:
Not so sure it fits the challenge but it's nicely captured. B&W was a good choice. Very good overall composition. Two trees in the foreground are a bit of a distraction, but not that much. If you were to edit for a print, I might clone out the right one ... but that's just an opinion. It conveys a nice emotional impact ... makes me want to put on a coat and go walking out there.

This isn't that unusual or bizarre. But it is nature. And I like it. Among my top picks.

Bird Feet (tough and made for perching)

B&W was a brilliant choice. High contrast really brings out the texture. Well captured. Among my top picks.

Treesrooms

The detail on the underside of the muchrooms is wonderful. Background is distracting. If you could shallow the DOF to blur the background more but still keep the sharp focus on the mushrooms, it would improve the photo IMO.
