Stunning and very expressive photo ! I think the visual effect caused by the strong bright parts is perfect.

Great composition. Love the shadows in the building. Background landscape is beautiful. Nice shot.

A great window and a great face. There's an untold story here, and both the literal and metaphorical meanings of "on the inside looking out" are quite clear. This is a really nice shot.

One ofmy faves in the challenge. Nice. Toning is excellent, as is the composition. There are some strange bars across the sky...artifact of some sort but not sure what that's caused by. Prolly not your doing/fault.

The only real downfall I see here is what has already been mentioned, and that is the out of focus piece of bark that is closest to the camera. It is right in the center, and creates a bit of a distraction as it is so noticable and right in the center.
I think that the angle and framing/cropping are perfect for the challenge. Fits just fine. I like the closeness and the textures and detail are really good.
The lighting seems to be ok and I see no horrible bright spots or distracting shadows.
Focus on the bark is good, with the exception of the closest pieces. I think a larger DOF would have worked better here to possibly have the closer pieces in focus. This wouldn't be such a distraction then.
Overall, a nice shot, good detail.
