I am taking a picture of the moon through a tree, the moon is not the light source. My flash lights up the ground before the tree and the tree itself in an otherwise very dark night.
I have mixed emotions about this one. The subject is super, that is one tree that is photogenic, if they possess such qualities. I think the framing of the tree is mostly good, I wish the other side didn't get cut off, but I can see why it is due to trunk position and filling the frame properly. I don't like where the light is placed because I think more emphasis should be placed on the cool curvy (notice the hi-tech photomographical jargon) limbs. This is I think the challenge part of this challenge. As it is, it's pretty good. It has the feeling of an oil painting, which I really like. And I'm just sort of in the mood to talk today, so I'm sure if you aren't getting many comments, you'll be enjoying this one. I was going to add the "what I would have done..." part and if it really interests you to know, PM me and I'll tell you. Good Luck on this challenge. I'm finally done. - Inspzil
Hmmm I don't consider moon as an artificial light source. If that so there is a light towards the tree. that means more than one light source. The photo itself is not so interesting. Should try adjust the colour to give an ambience.
Interesting shot. Like the cloudscape around the moon and the overall darkness of the photo is very supportive of the whole. Wonder what this would look like in B&W with the levels tweaked to make it a little more contrasty -- bring out the tree and foreground just a bit more.
