This is one of my favorite pictures in the challenge so far. The bright green and dark sky create a really nice contrast. Not only 'cause of the challenge, but I think it would look just a little more "interesting" (for lack of a better word) if the tree was a but further left in the frame. Very nice shot nonetheless. Good luck!

Very Nice. Love the B&W. It really puts emphasis on the tree. Nice placement as well.

This seems a bit over-post-processed. But it definitely gets the idea across, I like the placement of the objects and the range of colors; although it looks more like a painting than a photograph

Congrats on a great shot. I really like this one. I think it was one of the most innovative in the challenge.

I don't think there's much that I can say that hasn't already been said.

I agree that something other than the carpet should have been used, but the soft texture of it does add to the hardness of the doorknob.

Also, having something behind the camera would have helped immensely. The other commenters mentioned a black or white background. I'd suggest a medium blue to contrast the silver. And also, as you mentioned, the scars on the doorknob aren't the best idea, but I don't think they distract too much.

If you'd like, PM me about this critique. Also, please be sure to mark that it was helpful, if, in fact, it is.
