It's a little to slanted but it is still a good picture.

Interesting tree and composition, but I don't feel these lines are leading me to any particular focal point. The lines being the focal point themselves, it defeats the purpose of the challenge. Also, I'd like it better if it was shot on a cloudy day to avoid the harsh shadows. Not bad though!

Great shock value here. I couldn't eat spicy brown mustard for a while.

I think it would be obvious to anyone who looked at this photo for more than two seconds that you did meet the challenge. I wonder, however, how many people did not look for that long and only saw a line of contiguous trees.

I like how you flipped it so that the reflection would be at the top. The leaf (I think it's a leaf) also helps draw us to the "reflection" idea, but it unfortunately is not in a place within the frame that draws the eye in a flowing fashion, rather it distracts a little (if that makes sense).

I agree with the comments that say that this is too busy. But I do like the detail that you've shown. Perhaps darkening the edges and blurring them a bit, and maybe lightening the center (bottom rightish) area some, would help us to focus on one part of the image rather than all parts.

I like the angle, it makes it more interesting, but I overall find the image a little boring

Nice old truck and a reminder of a day when things were slower, more personal and more deliberate. Makes you wanna go back and sit on the porch in the summertime with your grandparents, nice post to reminds us to take our time, if only once in a while.

The interplay of light and shadow is excellent, but the image seems too busy. I think the tilted angle makes the image busier and less effective.

Nice contrast on the truck, b&w adds to the feel of story, thanks for posting that too.
