Wow, this is quite cool. Something completely different. Your cropping is outstanding: daring but very succesfull. Such a strong atmosphere in here! I hope this will win a ribbon. 10 + fave

I like this in some ways and don't in others. The exagerated Panoramic view is a bit wierd, though I can see what you were getting at with it. The tree really does stand out nicely with all the blown-out sky and the dark ground, but the out of focus and totally black area at the front end of the foreground should be cropped out IMO.

I think this is very cool and I like the size of the frame though I think the voting Nazis will shoot you down for thinking out of the box. Too bad but good luck! 6
