It looks like he has a tree growing out of his hand. If not for the title directing my focus elsewhere this is all I'd see in this image.

It's a stretch to say that this meets the challenge topic (even with the creative title).

Good capture; something about the lighting / colors makes this look like a matte painting.

In The Beginning ...They Seemed So Innocent

This is definitely a picture of "in the end"; your title is the only thing which relates to the beginning.

This is a good shot (if a bit cliche to those familiar with the Burning Man events), but I have trouble seeing how it relates to "the beginning".

Tedium

Comment:
This is an impressively vacant stare; I'm not sure that's generally a good thing, but it earns you points here.

boredom

The close cropping of this image is what sets it apart from the other 'primates looking bored' images. I find the stray hairs in his eyebrow a bit distracting, particularly since their proximity to the edge of the frame highlights them. I think I see some subtle compression artifacts, particularly around his eyebrow and eyelashes; you may want to check the image compression settings on your camera.

Yet Some Call It Passion

Comment:
The odd illumination of the model's eye is a bit distracting, as are the odd time lag artifacts resulting from the long/multiple exposure (model's right hand going through one of the cards, model's eyes oddly askew). I'd say that the theme is a bit closer to tedium than boredom, but still a solid entry.

Awaiting Rescue

This is an amusing image. It's one of the few pictures that's dead-on topic. Still, I'm not sure how well this would work if the viewer isn't familiar with the movie that the image alludes to.

The pigmentation on the model's chest looks overly two-dimensional. The shot is obviously done on a rather low budget, but you seem to make good use of what's there. This is one of the better concepts in the challenge.
