Really effective there Lynne. Actually looks like the separate leaves on three square cut logs on a stone floor.
The green really pops out.
This from your friend Mr H's tutorial ?
No crit from me... Which is rare but does happen from time to time
Hi, reshoot, your improving very quickly. The pebbles resting on the hands is much better.
Textures, well composed and good detail. I'd actually prefer it without the leaves, and I do like my leaves. I can see the interesting contrast between the leaves and the wood, but I really like the textures in the wood.
Half way, indeed
Chests.
....I wanted a splash of color which is why the leaves stayed...but now you mention it it may look ok without them 
...slowly but surely getting the hang of this pp stuff...very very slowly
Very nice
Hi Lynne, great image for texture, works really well, lovely detail
Hi Lynne,
Lovely job, lots of pp practice, and fits the theme well, no crit really I like the green of the leaves it lifts the image well

Wasn't keen on the theme but then this shot kinda felt like it worked .Big thanks to top model @Southdowns for allowing me to use it....

& to complete my catch up here's my Dream submission
Day Dreaming
Went a little ott with some florabella type actions , my thinking behind the shot was a chap drinking in the tranquility of his surroundings & dreaming of happy things....or something like that anyway
but the shadows on the blocks not the same aspect as the leaves ???)) full of caffeine now time to get buzzing, will catch up on the rest tonight
Lynne, sorry I'm another that really doesn't get stuff like your wild shot, but seeing as you've blended two images, I couldn't, well done on the pp as mentioned, I did think the iron work in the reflection just gets in the way a little but I imagine not a lot could be done to rectify that 
Hi Lynne
wild...not sure about this one, but you have obviously had to work hard to get there so
Hi Lynne,
Dream.. this one i do like, the colour of his t-shirt, the reflection in the water and the gentle dreamy colours
Aarrggghhhhh...it burns...it burns
It's a nice interpretation. Well composed and the reflection does add to the drama. Muted colours work for me.
No crit from me.
Cheers.
Falls over in shock...NO CRIT I'll take it anyways...cheers matey
Wild flowers - I like it, and not just because its an unusual image. The vibrance of the colours in the top layer really pop from the lower layer.
Day dream I think is a well composed shot, with a lovely reflection of a loverly setting, but do agree the Processing has made it feel a bit washed out, lowering the contrast that much hasn't helped, wonder if selective adjustment to the reflection might work, leaving the "real" view natural, or maybe the other way round... dunno!
....I figured the National Trust would get a touch miffed if I started dismantling the iron work 
Sorry but not a fan of the flowers, I don't like marmite either
I think you've really caught the mood for dreaming, I like the way the face lines up throughout the reflection and the muted tones really give it a dream like quality.
Glad you like daydreaming though Hi Lynne .... Two to catch up on
Wild .... Its one of those 'not sure' shots, I do like it but I feel its not quite there, maybe it needs a snippet of the original slotted in somewhere. Super colours and one I'm sure you enjoyed doing.
Dream .... I like it .... There are so many different textures in there but it still works, I like the muted colour and the composition. It has a slightly surreal feel to it .... Good choice for the theme.
Hey Lynne
You're jigged shot of woodsy with the brick background is a dam good effort, the background looks real goo, feel it does need more shadow but no idea where to start... as said before I'm clueless with this stuff currently, babe I'll follow your example and add it as a challenge on next years 52
Texture - Without your description I would never have guessed that the middle leaf was the same leaf, a good shot for texture ?? yeah why not, as you say loads of different textures there, a very bright fresh looking image, I like the wide crop with the 3 blocks in it, the shadows look good, the detail is excellent and that background works well too...
Crit, I wish I could offer something constructive, taken me ages to spot anything, so I'm going to be picky, very picky
Right... best get back to work (service station break (Starbucks
All in all a super image, you must be well pleased with it
Right moving on...
Wild - I remember you mentioning this concept, I wasn't quite so sure, but now I see it I think it's a great image, Crit wise, I can't fault it, but it doesn't say wild other than whacky, not sure if it was meant to be wild flowers or a wild image... now I have said that it fits fine
Love the colours and the PP on this
Dreamy - Liking the composition, thinking the muted washy colours help the dreamy feel of the shot and he certainly looks miles away in a different land (he was up in the slate mine again I think) but unsure if it could be a bit more vivid and still work... a real nice reflection in the water, and I'm also liking the 3 visual elements adding some depth to the shot, the reflections in the nearly still water, The chap in the background, and the railings/bricks separating them - a nice image indeed
Day dream I like, agree that the washy colours add to the image, reflections good
Somehow doubt my image is worth a smidge as much as his are though
