Should this not be in the other challenge? The one about beginnings? Nice image though.

Lot's of impact in this simple yet very effective image. Nice interplay between colors and shapes arranged in such a way as to create a perfect balance between the visual and the textual in a context that incorporates the essence of the challenge theme in a unambiguous manner. Good depth of field. Nice detail in the nearer objects. Lovely, lively vivid colors.

Beautiful and masterly done image displaying great photographic skill and an excellent eye for detail and composition. Looks almost like a painting..you sure it's not a photo taken of a painting? he he...just kidding. I especially love the frost on the tree branches and on the grass.

GUN

Comment:
Clever if slightly macabre concept and effectively executed. It looks almost real and the expression on her face displays genuine fear of what's about to happen. It is of course no small matter taking your own life and ending it all. A real gun might have given an even more realistic effect.

Brilliant concept and very effectively executed. Lovely detail and contrast and very nice range of tones. The message is powerful and fits the challenge theme extremely well.I like the style of the letters too and the way they stand out against the gray if the wall. Good choice to have presented this in black and white.

Of No Use Anymore

Rusty,bent,twisted and entwined remains of once useful articles and objects including cars, corrugated iron,empty drums tires and an odd assortment of other unidentified objects join together to form a masterly image of great beauty with a deep message and at the same time fits in extremely well with the challenge theme. I especially like that one can still see a small part of nature in the background as evidenced by the trees and the way it forms a contrast with the rest of the image. Almost as if to say..."look! this is nature, fresh and sustainable and full of life and fresh beginnings" and the rusty, bent twisted and entwined remains of once useful articles and objects including cars, corrugated iron,empty drums tires and an odd assortment of other unidentified objects just lie there, silent and dead and of no more use.

Super contrast and range of tones and excellent detail in this very illustrative image taken from an interesting POV. The title is nice and creative and fits the challenge very well. The gravestones are a nice touch and add just the right atmosphere.
