Nice job with the processing - I like the dark, rich tones you chose.

Wow - even more impressed with processing after seeing the original!

I've got one quite similar and was playing with rather drastic versions of editing, too. Mine didn't come out quite this nifty, though.

This was indeed one of my favorites in the challenge - I gave you an 8. I love this kind of light/shadow play and it's ever so challenging to capture the rays without washing out parts. Your choice of the angle for composition with only a bit of sky really helps in that respect, I think. Nice choice of a very lush green setting, too. I was thinking maybe you could crop a bit off the left, but when I tried that, I didn't like it as well. It seems nicely balanced as is. Another 6+, another good placing. Even if you did steal the wife's shot and she beat you anyway. :-)

Wow - nice muted colors! You might want to crop out the spot in the very middle of the water, and consider cropping a bit off the top to have the horizon two thirds up from the bottom. Nice capture!

Trees on a fence

When voting, I thought this very much looked like a metal tree of some kind but I wasn't sure about the fence part. It does form a nice abstract. I think it would be kinda cool to see it in color - shadows don't have to be gray. I think the fact it's a little fuzzy and ghosted in places may have affected the score, and I suspect part of that fuzziness is the slow shutter speed, though it does kinda create a neat effect - almost haunted looking.
