A tree absent of color

Nice use of the vignette to highlight. to my untrained eye, there is a perfect setup of color lead the eye from the outside sunset experience right into the heart of the sunrise, the intersection of dark tree and light.

South with the Old, North with the New

the find and processing are both great. the composition is passable but could be even better, and by that, it might have been able to fix that with a crop, paying attention to the edges of the photo, or perhaps a subtle vignette. That might play nicely off the symmetry, or interesting lack there of in the center.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Your image definitely meets the challenge (except for the part about naming your challenge, but I certainly don't think that's significant since the intended 'flaw' was quite clear.) And I loved the ghosting. I think it added a lot to this image, it made me think of Niagara Falls with all of the visible splash and humidity in the air. And technically, quite a complicated image. I like how you used multiple exposures to accentuate the lighting in the scene.

I didn't fine myself loving the image as a whole though with all the darkness mid-photo. I can picture this scene with my mind's eye and I bet it was spectacular, but all the darkness detracted a little from being able to enjoy the full scene in this image.

But an above average score and a nice finish. Well done.

Shoot on!

Distorted Panorama Matrix ...must be 2 - 5 images wide and 2 - 5 images high

Weird bit of warped distortion here in the stitching and not the kind I think you want in a stitch like this, even in a "distorted" challenge. Otherwise nicely processed.
