Very interesting. Very busy. This is a photo one should take more than a passing look at.

The processing is very good, great tonal range, very good choice for sepia.

I don't know yet if I'm one of the people who'll rave about the photo, I'll have to examine it for a while. I have a "lost, no direction" feel, I want to know what the best thing to see is and I feel left to fend for myself.

Technically A+. Composition I'm still wishy-washy. I'll have to ponder it some more.

Looks like a processing artifact on the skyline of the distance trees, like the mask wasn't quite covering everything.

Other than that - colors cool! I think the saturation level works well for this, a real feel for the colors.

I'm +/- on the dark area on the right. Probably too much to bring out detail w/o getting noise, looks like the sun was bright so probably not too much could have been done with that PP.

Overall I like the composition and crop. Very nice.

At first, this image looks straight from the viewfinder. Then, I notice white in the leaves around the bridge and later in the grass. What has he done here? There is a subtle sense or the sureal. I think it adds that atmosphere you were looking for.

I am not sure about the exposure in this one, dark photos can work very well if the contrast is really high, the contrast here is not high enough to bring out the quality of this photo.

I like the feeling of this photo, but the sharpness and contrast can be improved a lot ..
