Great shot but there are just to many overexposed spots for this type of challenge.

Very fairy-tail-ish. Wonderful use of the longer shutter as well as what I assume is an infrared filter etc. I think if the sky were a little darker to bring out the white trees just a bit more you would have a 10-- it might also benefit from a tadmore sharpness to be ultra-critical ... as is this is a 2 :] -- HAHA just kidding: 8

THis is a nice HDR and also IR photo. I like the composition but I wonder what this same photo would look like in color. I think in this particular challenge it might had done better in color. 7
