All really great images but the third is special. First thoughts were .. that image would be mysterious if the trees were cropped out. Keep posting would like to see more of your work.

I really like the foreground detail in the second. The B&W work works really well there.

Nice series. The water movement in #2 is fantastic.

All good, but #2 is for me the best. I'd prefer it with a little asymmetry, though: a bit less on the left and a bit more of the swirling water on the right. The stump doesn't need to be centred.

#2 Excellent image with a nice amount of movement in the water.
#3 Fantastic image, really well seen. Beautifully piece of art, I hope this will soon be hanging on your wall.

#2 for me. It's so powerful with all those movements, #3 is not far behind, I like how the limbs are trying to reach the tormented sky.

#2 is my favourite - love the foreground and water movement.

#3 not far behind wither.

#2 is a rare and excellent use of B&W.

Nicely done.

Very nice set.  I especially enjoy number 1. 2 has a lot of potential.

Great set! I like the range of light in #1.

Thanks for all the comments.

#2 is one of my personal favorites, just because of how the final image hit me instantly at a glance of the scene. That doesn't happen very often, but I love it when it does.

#2 and#3 for me. Great work.
