Needs a leaf or snail etc to give some depth and added interest. Good hard textures still ;)

I love the lighting and the off-centered view of this. Great show of texture.

Nicely photographed and meets the Challenge. The offset center of interest is good. The monochromatic take works, but to add interest you might consider introducing a different shape into the composition. Love the detail you captured.

The best composed of the concentric rings shots that I've seen so far. Good sense of texture, especially where the light becomes more shallow toward the right of frame - I think to really communicate the feel of the wood you could have used a shallower angle of light throughout the image, perhaps, as right on the edge of frame you've really caught it, just a bit too far out of frame to really focus the attention there. Good toning and detail.

The circular composition of the tree trunk makes your eyes follow the rings toward the center of the subject. The cropping you chose makes this shot very interesting. Lighting really makes this shot pop especially with the great shadows that fall on the rings themselves. "10"
