I like the subdued tones and desaturation in this ..the very lack of over-processing is suitable. In an "expert editing" challenge, I think the real discipline is to use what you need only when you need it..not to use as much as you can just because you can, ending up with a general mess. Nice control. Fits the challenge perfectly.

The title just draws the whole image together. Lovely work.

... when all the world were green

Beautiful composition. The only thing I would have adjusted is the amount of the building on the left. When looking at the image ...the story begins at the place where the balconies meet the building..in a way the white of the building is wasted space:so the image ends up with a very thin bookmark effect...anyway, just my opinion.

Very striking...yeeeers...I tend to identify with this image. But well done on the processing. Loads of interest.

Delicate, and yet a strong illustration of Harsh.

Isn't our beautiful earth and amazing place? Love the way you have all but excluded the horizon...leaving it just a thin strip to take the eye to.

So desolate and sad. Perfect "subject" for the challenge.

I love this idea,and the colour tones and the composition. In terms of processing though, the body seems to me floating a few inches off the ground which is "unsettling" (no pun intended).

I really like this, but I think it's erred on the side of high contrast...it could have spoken for itself without such heavy processsing. But I give it an 8.

Not sure if there is high noise, oversharpening, or just plenty of lichen on the rocks... Great leading lines though.
