this is the sky looking through some weird trees using the tungsten effect thinger. I also reduced the exposure length because it was heaps bright and i like it darker like this yes.

This was one of my 10's. I wish you were higher in the rankings but I'm not suprised you scored this low on this site. This is still one of my favorites this week.
An interesting variation on a often used theme. I don't think that I've seen a similar composition using the moon like this. Good idea and nice execution. The one branch that comes down to the upper left is a little distractive and might be better if it were clipped off. I don't think that it is needed because the photo is anchored to the frame on the lower left and right.
Amazing colors and very well captured. I like the way the reflection on the branch is contrasting with the dark blue. Just too bad the branch is out of focus.
I don't think the bright branch on the left adds much. If I were to print this, I'd darken it a bit first. I like the basic image and color -- maybe if there were enough resolution you could crop the right side into a vertical image.
The color and the silhouette of the branches are both very nice, and the light of the moon is wonderful BUT the glaring reflection on the branch on the left should have been cropped out. It's too reflective and out of focus. The potential here is very good and I would have scored this very high had it not been for that branch...dang that branch!
Neat color in the sky. It definitely does look cold, and definitely different from what we have in the US this time of year. I just don't know about that out of focus branch in the upper left though...
I like this so don't get me wrong. The color is wonderful and the bare branches are great. I just think the one branch is a distraction and really doesn't add to the shot. Over all I think it's good work. Kee
