Colors work very well together here, however there seems to be a gradient lighting. Looks as if the on-board flash was used, creating a glare on some of the foremost wood, and fading to dark along the top. Perhaps having the lighting come from the side, raking across the textures of this chair would have created an entirely different and interesting mood. Focus is sharp.

Good DOF and Focus. Lighting works well here. The subject matter is not very interesting, but the contrasting lines and angles give a plus to this image. Unique.

A cute photo of an adorable little boy - yet misses the mark as far as making wood a major element. The boy and the brightness of the sky showing through trees is what catches my eye first most - the wood is simply a small element that the child is posed upon. As far as technical eval: the DOF is perfect in my opinion. I would have tried to tone down the brightness of the sky, and not cropped the top so closely (unless of course it would have brought more of the bright sky into play)Focus is nice and sharp. Colors are right on.

Cropped a bit tightly, and a little too dark in my opinion. I like the way the light was casted upon the ladder, but the sun spots are a bit much.

Somehow fire / flames never stop intriguing us. Good shot here, although I feel the crop is a bit tight. Good exposure level as the textures of the burning wood center of the pit are well demonstrated.

I absolutely ,loved this when I first saw it, and still do. The 3D effect it presents is great. The vibrant colors just pop out at me. I can't help but smile when viewing this.
Great shot - shows some welcome creativity.

Still Life in Wood #1 Desk & Vase

Although the image is a bit darker than what I usually like - the lighting and shadows reflect beautiful textures of the wood. The breass ring breaks up the darkness, adding the perfect contrast. The green rug is a big minus here - it clashes rather than enhances. I would suggest some hue manipulation to better blend it into the same color scheme of the brass ring and wood.

Unique entry - does not really grab attention though as the subject is not clearly defined. I think this would fair better if not so close up. Might also suggest an increased DOF.

A very creative image for this challenge. I like your thinking.
A couple suggestions - use of a white china cup possibly would have added some nice contrast. Possibly increase the DOF - the background is a bit too blurred out in my opinion. The cropping and frame work well here.
