I really think the sepia tone works well for this picture. Good job hiding that face.

Your moon really pops in this shot. The silhouette from the trees makes for an interesting composition. Great capture!

Nice use of greyscale, I like the light and reflection, not sure about the angle as a whole.

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
Wow ..awesome colours ... a little disconcerted at the angle (but that is me) ... the patterns and leading lines are great.

Subject:
Well done ... meets the challenge in so many ways.

Composition:
I love the way that the lines in the sky created a leading line for the eye to follow ... I found the angle a little weird .... I also think that the changing of the colours leads you through the picture as well.

Technical (Colour and light):
Lovely .. awesome .. beautiful .. not a lot is say on these really.

To grow its vote?:
I might have tried cropping out the trees .. .just to give a complete sky look .. rather than a ground up approach .. but that is only an option .. your crop is great.

Summary:
Great work .. awesome and congrats on the top 10.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari
