Very nice tree; it has lots of character. however, I wish the tree fit in the frame. It gives the impression that you couldn't move back any farther (or zoom out), and that it just didn't fit. I'd either crop more or less.

IF A TREE FALLS IN THE FOREST AND THERE IS NO ONE THEIR TO HEAR IT?

IMO this shot is nicely composed but is let down by focus and exposure or am I missing something?

I am not sure that black and white processing suits this photo. There is so much detail in it that i feel has been lost as the different colours (but similar tones) merge into one. The higlights are too blown out which means detail has been lost.
I like the idea of the fallen tree and the ever present question however

I like the play of shadows in light inside the tree.

What a great old tree. Wish it weren't so boxed in. I'd have more negative space around it. :~)

The composition in this image is lacking and I don't care for the heaviness of the hues and contrast. However, the message is a strong one that works.

Comment by Blue Moon:
A very important photograph, it's an interesting moment in time captured well. Technically it is not the best photo in this challenge because of the harsh light, etc. that comes with taking candids. Apart from that though, I give you extra points for posting this. I was considering these for my entry but another one won out.
Good luck!

Too contrasty for my taste...You've lost some detail (like in the back pack) that should be there, I fear. And I would have liked to have seen their feet or less of their legs.. cropped at the ankles (or any joint) is a no-no, I think.
