 I noticed this strangely suspended remnant of a tree during a previous photo hunt in a local conservation area, and went back to find it for the sake of this challenge.

I like this - I think it's pretty clever. A wider aperture to blur the background out a bit more would have worked even better, IMO.

I wasnt able to see what was going on in the picture at first, its very busy and the focus isnt on the area you wanted it to be in. perhaps a crop or tighter shot would have worked better. But right now there is too much going on

Very cool, made me check to make sure this was a basic edit challenge. Bizarre without being gross, and a great photo to boot.

It's nice but I don't see "bizarre" or humour here...
