Thank god, I was starting to think there wouldn't be a single naked chick in this challenge.

Very nice. Think it might be slightly more appealing if cropped so the tree and its reflection are vertically centered in the composition. Little more sky, little less lake. You lose the tip of the reflection which is broken up anyway. Love the processing here, please do post details on how you acheived this. Good work and good luck.

The Last Tree in the Known Universe

Nice emotive shot. Would work better cropped with the subject more off to the side. Lighting is nice, with good play between smoke and shadows. However, your cheesy title really ruins the mood here. Otherwise, nice shot and good luck.

Nicely composed and a great exposure. Hope it does well.

From the Rubble

Interesting idea. Composition could use work and the lighting is not the best. Would look a lot better later in the day when the light is softer. Might also be more appealing cropped horizontally, assuming what's out of frame on the right is just more of the line of rubble. Good luck.

Nice lighting and nice capture of the water droplets. Composition is very nice. Looks like some flash highlights on the most prominent leaf which are a bit distracting, but otherwise a fine entry. Good luck.

Bonsai Tree

Overwhelming amount of white background does nothing to enhance this photo, it just minimizes your subject for no good reason. Subject itself is off kilter. Might also work better cropped much tighter so the tree fills the frame and cropped so that the tree's pot is not visible (or much less prominent). Good luck.

Backlighting is very nice here and your exposure is dead on. The title is pretty lame and ruins an otherwise nice mood this photo creates in the mind. Unique composition. Good luck.

Very creative! Something is amiss here though. I cant tell if things are slightly out of focus on the tree or if the colors have been messed with in a bad way, but something is not very appealing.
