This is an absolutely beautiful shot, Colleen! I would have given you an 8 or 9 had I voted. You really got robbed - and I do understand the link to the challenge with no trouble - if you don't have book smarts, you might just eat that poisonous berry right up. ROBBED!!!

You know, this is just my cynical take on this shot. In all reality, it was probably a stretch to meet the challenge however it was done very well. The detail was extraordinary.

However, had this been a shot of a fabulous sunset, the northern lights, Cannon Beach, or something similar that was just as equally if not more removed from the challenge, the voting population would have gone ga-ga over it and the very same people that DNMC'd you would have given you high scores!

You only have to meet the challenge if your image is not a cliche shot!

Just my CYNICAL take on things.

this has the effects of HDR in the sky. not sure how to correct that given the challenge limitations. cool photo.

It would have been fun if the moon was deep orange on this night, to catch the double complement of red/green and blue/orange. Great capture.

I really love this shot. Not sure how to vote with two main colors seems to be split into three. With the blue, orange/red and green. All three are competing.

I have to agree with all the other comments. I love the shot, but don't understand the link to the challenge. I hope you will explain it in the photog comments.

Good picture, where is book smart though? My rating is not putting down the good quality of the picture.
