The tree and horizon are so oversharpened that there is a halo along the edges. Was that the intention of this piece. I've seen the effect used before, but unsure if this was on purpose.
I have to agree it is a little dark overall, but I do like the detail in the clouds.
The silhouette works well here. Just a little lighter, ease up on the sharpening, and keep the detail. Then your score should go up.
Overall I like the picture, is a nice mood piece. Especially with Halloween coming.
my first impression was: over-sharpened. you can see along the horizon and edges of the leaves. the colors of the sky look more gloomy, than a neat ominous color. 5.
I think the idea of creating a silhouette against the drama of the sky is a good one. The leaves of the trees and the horizon line, however, have some white outlining....I think that makes it feel like a cut-out and not a seemless image.
That's a heavy sky there. The dark background makes the silhouetted tree with haloes from shaprening? stand out. It's an interesting effect but not one for a lasting image.
