Looks like a colored pencil sketch, and...I can see this as an illustration in a children's book. I quite enjoy it.

Such a nice variety of position in all these leaves; compared to the b&w version, I'm not sure I'm finding the loss of contrast an improvement. While I like the use of this texture (but agree with joynim about the border), I'm wondering if the overall yellowing look it gives the shot is a tad too strong.

This is really a fabulous composition, a masterful grouping of leading lines.

I clearly remember seeing this, but I don't know how I managed to miss commenting before now. I did get it, and thought it was a beautiful conceptual piece. Missed voting on the challenge, so sorry to say your 10 row would have been up by 1 voter if I had not done so. :)

Very compelling - like an ink drawing on aged paper. Nice processing technique.

Cold and Lonely

Agreeing a bit with earlier commenters - a little less of the foreground and a bit more of the sky might have punctuated the sense of desolation in this shot even more than you have done here (and don't ask me why, because honestly I don't know, it just feels that way :) ) But this is a fine expression of those cold grey winter days, when you think all the world has packed up and left you standing there.

Love that crazy zigzag going up the center of the stairs. Leading lines all over the place! Nice.

Beautiful clarity, looks like the light shone in just the right spot for this shot - love that fire line of reeds dividing the shot.

I thought "bucket" too...this is a real treasure of a moment. All of childhood in this one instant. Reflection in the glass is fab.
