This shot is the original, for the exception of a slight crop.
I shot this during a morning storm as the sun was rising. The "tree" is actually the very top of an otherwise very lively tree. The top was the only dead part of it.
No post processing was done. I let the sun trick the meter, and this was the result.

I like this shot a lot. Very moody, very dark. I like the almost skeletal look of the branches set against the moonlight. Great clouds with nice, natural colors. The only thing is I think the composition could have been a bit better. Nice job.
It's Halloween, it's Halloween, the moon is full and bright. One of the shots this challenge that's just fun to sit back and look at. :) I'd like less twig in the moon, which can be fixed either by cloning it out, or moving your feetskies a bit more when you were framing the shot. Makes me think of Bram Stoker, Frankenstein, and random Igors. 8
Stark and moody. I'm guessing that is the sun. Part of the appeal of this photograph for me is that this could have been taken in daylight or nighttime. Well done.
i like this, and know how hard it is to capture. did you try any with a slower shutter to catch the clouds in motion? that can really get creepy. nice work.
I like the moodiness of this image. Perhaps the tree is slightly too dark - some of the branches disappear against the clouds, but I still really like this.
