Trees

I wonder if these are neglected apple or other fruit trees. The barn provides a nice sense of "place", I can imagine myself here and it reminds me of places I have been to. I like that about it. It's a rather muted palette and flat light, but to my eyes this somehow works better than that combination usually does, IMO.

Unusual, I like the slightly abstract feel to this and the different shapes and textures.

"Fall"ing for Red

I like the trunk disappearing into the canopy of leaves, but I think the image would hold my interest longer if there was more contrast within the leaves. For my taste, the leaves are too close to being a uniform blur of red.

ETA: Since this is a minimal editing challenge, I guess that would mean taking the picture in different light.

Autumnal splendor, She's wandering through the fire, Lost in the warm glow.

Nicely controlled zoom. It seems that this is either a crop of a much larger image which was centered on the girl, or you somehow kept the focus on the girl while zooming, even though she is not at the center. I'll be interested to find out more :-) Love the warm colors.

Nice combination of overall symmetry in the bands of colors, broken up in an interesting and pleasing way. Lovely colors.

Dessert 36 - Buttermilk pudding

This reminds me of the blancmange desserts my mother made. They are a traditional British dish, I think. I like the addition of the mint with the strawberries, and the highlights on the strawberries.
