But why is this "failure"?

Strikeout

I really like the composition, but it seems like his face doesn't fully convey the fact that he just struck out. I would expect him to look much more bummed out than this.

Failed to Survive

I love the colors, but actually wish the sky wasn't so blue. It would have been nice if the sky was overcast and washed out. Then you'd have a colder feel to the whole image. Also, I think that subtle, diffused lighting on the tree (i.e. shot in Golden Hour) would have looked better to emphasize the idea that the tree is dead than these harsh mid-day shadows.

Falling wild flower

I like the shot, but wish I could see the flower in the frame (especially given the title). It's not really apparant from the photo that those greem stems belong to flowers.

I like the dramatic lighting in the shot. However, it would have captivated me more if I could see more of the anguish on her face instead of it being mostly in shadow.

I like the photo, but am not sure if it is spot-on with the theme of "failure".

I really like this shot. :) However, it would have been a bit better for me if it had been sized to the full 640 px width.
