I joined this site two days ago, and wasn't going to enter anything. However I took this photo on a trip to Queenscliff yesterday, and decided to enter just to see how it works.

Excellent quality silhouette. Good clarity and solid blacks. The natural framing with the tree branches is very good.
Though the two bright openings in the clouds are why you took the picture in the first place they are both overexposed spots which is really a defect in most images. It is very difficult to get lighting correct in a basic challenge like this without overexposing them.
On the technical side there is a lot of dark space at the bottom of the frame. There is something like a reflection down there but the viewer really cannot tell what it is. When that happens the item becomes a distraction in the image. You might consider cropping out the whole bottom portion of the image. That will better highlight the part you originally took the picture for anyway.
i have a pretty bright screen and still see nearly all black in the lower half of the pic. i think i would have preferred it if you cut off half of the lower half.
Oh great title. So sinister is that sky! I love it. Makes me want to crawl under the covers and not come out til morning!!!! It evokes such a mood. Good job.
