I think you are a bit too brave to have gone inside....
that said :P ...
I like how you handled the exposure to pick up both the light and the dark areas without losing detail.

A Picasso bear? The lighting and the subject create an interesting puzzle.

What a keen perspective! The lighting is great for this image, the feeling of a cave is kept as is the deliniation of where outside begins. The focus looks like it could be sharper, and though the lighting is good, the glare on the wet ground is a little harsh. I like the almost pseudo b&w feel of this with inside the cave and low to no color vs outside with the vivid green. Well done. 7

This is a pretty good interpretation of the challenge. Nice focus on the train, a little soft on the victim (IMHO). I would have liked a little more DOF. As far as composition, is that really a train (you're too close to tell what it is...)? Is she really on train tracks (looks like a barn floor or something)? The glasses and the t-shirt kinda detract from the feel you get with the B/W treatment here also. Still a great entrie!
