I think it would be more desolate looking without the bikes and person. Although it appears to be quite a lilfeless place, otherwise.

Hooray! A desolate place! Normally I would like a desert photographed with some dawn or dusk light to give it some life but the flat light you found just added to the feelilng of desolation. Excellent composition - putting the driftwood in the forefront like you did really works. I expect to see a scorpien crawel out from the crack in the log. Interesting choice of tone with the sepia.

Very upsetting photo. These people once had a hopeful future and now, devoid of any it certainly meets the challenge. Nice, brave work.

This is a nice shot and definately meets the challenge. I would like to see more contrast in the shot so that the details show up better. Also, IMO, when taking a photo like this, I want to have the entire tree in the shot with some breathing room. I imaging that the close crop was due to other items intruding on the scene and you take what you can get, right?

incredible colors! I have never seen the sky that pink! I will be interested to find out if that was some PS adjust or natural.

Interesting point of view, right down on the ground. I do think it would be better though with a crop done just before the blurred focus area. It is difficult to tell but it looks like you had a few clouds on blue sky to work with. If that was the case, a polarizing filter would have helped deepen the color of the sky.
