Wow! It may be a real stretch for the challenge, but this is a fabulous shot! I'll tell you this much, those giant wheels are a serious pain in the a to drive, but they are beautiful.

Mystery cleavage has always frightened me. You can never really be sure what part of the body you are looking at. That said, this shot is well composed and well lit.

Fascinating shape and teture, but the background is making me cross-eyed.

Well shot, but try adding some context to make this photo stand out.

I must have suffered some deep psychological trauma as a child, because this photo scares the heck out of me! I'm honestly expecting some scary monster to jump out of the woods. Ok, let me try to figure out why... (you don't mind if I think out loud, do you?)
Alright, first the dark vignette plus black and orange border, plus blur vignette. That's probably 90% of it right there. Next, the cognitive dissonance brought on by the ultra-innocent image of a child and, of all things, balloons, surrounded by the afore-mentioned threatening elements, alone, in the woods! Ok, it can't just be me... can it?
Deep breath...
Technically, this shot is excellent. The creepy vignettes are well done, exposure, lighting, composition... all well done. Ever consider directing? Blair Witch has nothing on this photo!
Oh yeah ... 10

Cheddar Sulfur? Sorry, couldn't help it. Nice texture, but there's something strange going on where the shadows and highlights meet.

Were you going for a feature of the old carraige, or the contrast of old and new? Either way the concept would work, but theres a problem, the background.
As it is, the subject is placed strongly in the center of the frame making the background seem incidental. To feature the carraige, try to remove as many distractions as possible. Try a low or high angle in this case. To contrast the carraige with the buildings, try to give them more or less equal weight in the image. In this case you could keep the carraige off to one side of the frame, for example.

The trouble with abstracts is that the eye struggles to find a recognizable object in the frame. It then locks onto that object, if found, and constantly refers to it to give context to the other forms. I'm afraid I've locked onto your thumb. Still, it's a striking composition. I like the shape of the Mercury.
