The forests in B.C. are being decimized by the Mountain Pine Beetle. As more trees are being cut down to try and stop the infestation, more and more stump cememteries pop up everywhere.

Being Artystic® and different may not sit well with voters, but when the power goes off, and you are pleased with your work, then that is all that matters.
Your PP done here set the tone well for the portrayal.
I think you have succeeded despite the numbers. Maybe you made people think..don't learn the lesson please..realize that some people need you to see the world through their eyes, otherwise you are "wasting " their time. I appreciate what you have done here.
My six year old says " It makes me sad..all these trees..they were living". Need I say more?
It's a bit on the soft side (I'm still not sure if it is good or not so good) and the tone a bit dull, but I could definitely see the natural cemetery here. Didn't deserve this low score, gave it a 6. Keep thinking like this. :)
Amazing that others did not see the graveyard in this: this was one of the pics I rated high. I liked it a lot! Remember that scores are not everything.
Ok.. so I've learned something. Actually, I already knew it. Being artistic and different with a challenge kills you.. but gets you some great comments too (and some really dumb ones.. PhotoRyno.. please, get a damn imagination :))
The soft-focus was intentional. I wanted a Ghostly, deadish appearance, and this gives it that. If I was to do it again, I'd go for the exact same look. Sorry that not everyone (ok, hardly anyone), likes it. I've always been that kind of artist though.
Also, read the description to find out why these trees were cut down. Thanks!
I'm sure lots of people are ragging on your goth glow-look. But I think its still tastefull and pleasant. Nice job. Way to think a bit outside the box.
I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

Only a few people thought out of the box on this challenge. I thought of an old plane graveyard. However I didn't go that route because I would have gotten slammed like you probably are. I will noit count against you for that.
I like this picture, I'm sure you'll get comments like "where's the graves?" Not from me. This is a well shot photo, you have a good eye. I'd like to see more color out of this though, it looks a little desaturated. Good photo.
A nice take on the cemetery challenge =) Did you use diffuse glow? If, you did, I think it was a little over-done. Also, the light area in the lower left corner is very distracting. I would have cloned that out or recropped. Otherwise, I like your composition and your perspective of the challange.
Doesn't meet the chalenge. Also feels somewhat over processed. Otherwise comp is fine, levels and colors are fine. In a more appropriate challenge, this would score well I think.
