I think your photo was underrated. It carries a walloping emotional impact and fits the challenge beautifully.

Are you sure it's an oak? Ok for dying in grace and beauty, but not with these colors. Seems hue manipulations has been a bit exaggerated., but the idea is good and the way the leave is leaning is well seen.

A good image. Normally I'd say it doesn't really fit all alone, but the focusing does make the man with the ax stand out and look separated. The focus is good, I like the low lighting as well, unfortunately the color seems a little washed out - not sure if that is because of the light or not. Good emotional impact. Nicely done. 7

I think I would have liked all of them in focus, even though I understand your choice. I notice the wedding band which just reminds me of the families losses. Good photo for an article.

my suggestion would be to take out the foliage in the foreground - I'm assuming that your using it for dof, but the pic would be more "dramatic" imo without. Just a thought. the reflections are good and the fog is nice too - something tells me you took that way too early in the morning!
