Taken in the local "volkstuin", the place looked dead as dead can be but I know that in the spring the place is a riot of plants and vegetables.

Merging multiple exposures.

lots to look at but no real center of interest. Toning ell done and sharpness works for over all image.

I don't really know what to say. I like it in some ways but for the most part it is just too busy for me.

It's quite a nice shot, but there is no life in it to my eye. I'm quite open minded about these challenges, and I dig your creativity, but it doesn't really work for me.

seems to be a job for wall-e, the artificial life form :)

Much detritus of human life and some hardy vegetation. It feels very busy and I'm not sure if the point is that people are inconsiderate of the environment or that some plants can grow in unfriendly places or something else entirely.

I don't see any... sorry.

Great textures/shapes but w/o a strong subject it just leaves the eyes to wander.

Yes I can see ants, some bugs and there's lots of life too small for the human eye to see such as bacteria and amoeba's. Nice processing.
