I like the subdued tones and desaturation in this ..the very lack of over-processing is suitable. In an "expert editing" challenge, I think the real discipline is to use what you need only when you need it..not to use as much as you can just because you can, ending up with a general mess. Nice control. Fits the challenge perfectly.

The title just draws the whole image together. Lovely work.

Very striking...yeeeers...I tend to identify with this image. But well done on the processing. Loads of interest.

Delicate, and yet a strong illustration of Harsh.

Isn't our beautiful earth and amazing place? Love the way you have all but excluded the horizon...leaving it just a thin strip to take the eye to.

So desolate and sad. Perfect "subject" for the challenge.

I love this idea,and the colour tones and the composition. In terms of processing though, the body seems to me floating a few inches off the ground which is "unsettling" (no pun intended).

I really like this, but I think it's erred on the side of high contrast...it could have spoken for itself without such heavy processsing. But I give it an 8.

Not sure if there is high noise, oversharpening, or just plenty of lichen on the rocks... Great leading lines though.
