Wow. Great shot. How'd you get rid of all the smoke? Super sharp and well composed. Great one.

Really cool, apocalyptical scene. The foreground and the tree are perfectly composed with very nice balance, and the subtle dark clouds in the background and eerie tone to the sky really make it and set off the tree. Wonderfully done.

Ahh, the prickly chestnut. Mind your head! Nice bit of light right on your subject, and nice tones to the leaves.

At first glance this was my favorite and now having looked through them all and really examining the different approaches people took, it's still my favorite. The colors and exactness really give this a graphic design feel to it, like a precision-made futuristic cartoon. I also was going for this look but missed the mark. The scene is well spotted, but the colors and shades really put this at the top. Well done.

This really stands out. Jumps out from the thumbnail and when blown up it's just a really strong image. Colors are wonderful, and I like the organic contrast with the inorganic symmetry. That said, I wish the blinds(?) were perfectly parallel and there wasn't a bulge where the stem is sticking through them. That's a guess of course, as all these negative shots have me guessing as to what's really going on. I'm not voting, just observing.
