I don't like the crop of this photo. It looks purple to me (I am colorblind though so it won't count against you. What do I know?) Interesting subject though. - Inspzil

i like the lighting and composition, but i can't tell exactly what it is. not knowing what it is or what it is supposed to convey to me makes me feel very little emotion towards the photo. it's done very well, but doesn't say anything to me.

I'm guess that this is a hair clip. How did you make it "electric"? Very nice. Black background is perfect for this shot.

I gave this picture a 7 originally - now I am back for a second look from the critique club.

At first glance the photo is bottom heavy. All that black foreground does not balance well with the lovely sky. But the sky part is extraordinary. First for it's blueness, what a gorgeous blue. Second for it's streaks of light and dots of stars. The way the light shapes match the tree shapes at the left should be emphasized. What if yu crop a bit from the bottom and take off the far right tree? That would leave three tree shapes and three light shapes descending from left to right? Too symetrical? Okay, maybe. But it's a way to get rid of some black and focus on the contrast between the delicate lace of the trees and the smooth smears of the clouds. That texture contrast is so nice.

I think the cropping is my only complaint here. Technically it is beautiful, exposure and all that. I hope it wan't as cold at your house as it was at mine. The way you have this shot framed, it doesn't have a compositional focus or direction. It could be more dynamic by either emphasizing where the rays of light are coming from. or where they are going to. try a tighter crop. It is almost a stunning picture, well it IS a stunning picture but it is almost a winning one.

I love the way the trees are framed. Each individual branch is sharp and clear. This is a fabulous photograph and a fine entry to the challenge. A+ color. muckpond

Interesting sky shot. Not sure if these kind of shots are really photo journalism. But I guess so, if the science sense. Good shot for science mag.
