Window of Faith

Needs to be rotated slightly counterclockwise, but beautiful. I had this idea myself and passed on it for lack of time.

Clouded Window

Because there are clouds outside the window frame, it seems more a picture of a window than of a window framing something. I am also distracted by the trees, particularly along the bottom edge where they could (and should) have been very easily cropped out.

Now this is how to do "old" in a nature shot! There have been a lot of so-so landscapes of questionable theme suitability in this challenge.. but this tree looks like a bent old man and is actually fairly well shot. Not a ten, but it should still make you proud.

Haha, you get points for originality while still sticking to the challenge theme!

Hidden Door to the Secret Garden

I would like to see less DOF, more clarity throughout, especially into the garden.

This would work better if the building were more centered. The building isn't tilted, but I think the off-centeredness of it makes it look like it's leaning to the right. It's a weird optical illusion.

Beautiful, but just a touch too dark.

Needs to be sharper, more color saturation.

Used to be someone's love

Good texture. I'd like to see this with more color saturation, though, maybe a +5 on contrast.

The perspective here is just odd. The weighting is disconcerting. The wheels should be anchored to the bottom of the picture. Remember that the bottom of a picture is almost always perceived to be the ground, the front, closer, etc. Anything that looms large in the top of the frame looks like it's flying and that just doesn't work in this photo's favor. I'd also like to see more of the object you're shooting and less of its rock stage.
