The color used here peaks curiosity. The crop bothers me a little - cutting off the edges of the tree - 9

a bit more crop at the front would have been better

Is it going in?

Comment by Teafran:
The sense of "moment" is present in this image and the obvious character being captured carries some visual impact. Technically, it's a very well composed image which is a plus. From an artistic standpoint, it lacks impact. A worthy entry into the challenge just lacking that something special to make it stand out.

More a image of lighting than a creative use of lighting. It's hard to rate this because of it's nature. It might have been a better approach to find a subject and then use the lighting to create the image rather than of the light itself.

Life is persistent given time isn't it? This isn't bad but I think the bright bud on the left is quite interesting so maybe shooting it so that you have that one as the main focus and add a little more dof to have some of the dark burned ashes in focus too. the best part of this one is the left half. The right half doesn't seem to add anything to it imo. However it doesn't take away from anything as is either. Just a thought.

I think it's a little soft, but a good concept...6

Neat subject but I wish there was more in focus.

A good idea that is well constructed and presented. No major flaws and it demonstrates natural texture in a very subtle way. Interesting use of DOF control to produce an effective, vague yet detailed background. A solid effort and very pleasing to the eye.
