Good shot! What kind of post-editing have you used?

I love the lines and skyline in this shot. It looks like the clouds covered the tree with shadow. Maybe waiting a bit more for it to become highlighted would give this shot much more interest

THIS ALMOST DOESNT LOOK REAL. THE SCALE AND DIVISION OF THE PHOTO IS PERFECT!!

Title seems too long - with this image you don't need to try and justify how it fits into the challenge - if anyone fails to see the fit perhaps they just don't appreciate the powers of a beautiful landscape in aiding silent meditation/ contemplation! 8

Beautiful pastoral shot. Great composition and saturated colors. I really appreciate the fact that you've taken a more subtle approach to the silence theme than most, I'm just not sure that the picture without the aid of your title immediately brings 'silence' to my mind. Wish this challenge was for landscapes so I could have judged it higher. :)

I'm sure I won't be the last to sense the similarity between this and a certain other photograph. Your one is better, though! I like the 3D appearance of the clouds.

Comment by gingerbaker:
Beautiful, surreal effect here, and a bold idea to emphasize the sky so much. Excellent framing and a VERY high score with me. Well done!

I just love this photo. My highest pick of the contest. I think you could have chosen a better (and shorter) title, but so what? It's the photo that counts, and this had better win a ribbon!
