Taking a risk with this one. High contrast, almost using selective desaturation and a "messy" image - 3 things voters generally do not like. I love this image though! One of my favourites that I have submitted to date. The only thing I would have changed (If I was allowed to under basic editing) is to darken the top of the bears head and right foot a bit.

Wow.. this reminds me of a photo I took awhile back! This one's way better, though - awesome tones, I like the desaturated feel, and the sharpness is fantastic. I see a bit of grain, which I also really like for this shot. Composition works for me, and it meets the challenge well - nice work!
This is so desolate...I love it...the limited color pallette, the sad little bear, the beautifully textured grass, the ominous gray sky...very effective.
