Partial faces often work well, but in this case it doesn't strike me that the point of cutting works right; lighting is a little awkward with the face really dark on the left; and finally the yellow blob on the left is quite distracting

The image is out of focus and the eyes look really doctored and unreal

relatively nice image, but you are going to get dinged for not meeting the challenge.

Very nice job with this entire set, excellent use of DOF to set the subject off and excellent light on all the images.

I really like this, the balance of the large tree on the left and the smaller one on the right is nice, plus you have the others lingering in the background.

Normally I don't care for these, but this one is very nice. The light plays well within the image. My one problem is the one very strong light in the image. I find it rather distracting, but at the same time it is probably providing the light source for a lot of the other light play.

There is a lot to like about this image, strong colors, strong lines, it drags you in. On the other hand there are a couple of things that sort of bother me. Visually the steeple is leaning to me. It may be lens distortion or it could truly be the camera angle. I might try working with the level and see if that could be fixed. The other nit pit is the uneven blue in the sky. Sometimes a polarizing filter will give an uneven blue, but this looking like a post processing artifact. Something done to resolve that would improve the image.

I like the range of tone in this, the flowing wood dust, the angle of the cutting piece, just a really nice image.
