Great shot. Don't suppose you have a b/w version of this?

Oh boy someone just snapped out of their funk and is starting to streak. Where do you people find such serene scenes? I swear you planted those. :P

I bet this tree is right outside your bedroom window and all you had to do was turn around and capture it. :P Such a striking shot congrats on winning the challenge!

Well shot. I probably would have soften the vignette some more on the right so that it was smoother like it is on the left but that's about all the nitpicking I can do on this one. Overall a very professional looking image.

This is an interesting capture but I really don't like how you edited it if I am to be honest. The selective desaturation really has no purpose and doesn't add anything artistically in my opinion and the slight "popping out of the frame" that's going on with the tiger's paw and the rope seems way too subtle to have much of an impact. That comes across more as a mistake than an intented result. I think going straight b/w here would have been your ticket.

Good color and sharpness. The lighting however isn't your friend here. It's much too direct providing little shadow play. A shot taken closer to sunset or sunrise would yield better results.
