I don't really like the border or that parts of the truck are cut off. The leaves and spider web are nice and show that it's been out there for a while.

I'm split on this one, the colour of the flower is great on all the shots but I like all the great detail on the first shot the best I think, though I prefer the crop of the second shot as the pot is just a little distracting on the background.

I choose door #2. They're all nice shots, but I like the shallow depth of field, emphasis on the foreground.

I like the layout, do not mind the shadow, but I find the flower a bit out of place. Overall a very nice tribute. :)

Funny how I always find wild flowers more pretty than the kind you buy. Nice lighting and dof.

Great minds, think alike. (You know what I mean.) I like your composition and the red makes a very nice still life. I'm not crazy about the white wall. Since this was advanced editing, I might have added a little color there to tone it down. My other thought on this, as a challenge entry, is that it might be a little too cheerful for a memorial image.

First off the composition had strong bones about it with the natural framing of the tree dominating the left & bottom side and the overhanging branch on the right. What you have done in this B&W version is bring up the tones, details and contrasts in the tree with it's twisting/curling branches and really made them the main focus of the shot with the Grand Canyon as a complimentary backdrop for it. In the original color version the details of the tree and it's textures are lost in shadow. Because it obscures the view of the Grand Canyon it seems an annoyance that would normally be a throw away shot. But here in your B&W version those knotted & twisting branches really pop and become the main focus for a rather unique view of the interesting landscape. Nice job.
