Got two comments on the same shot that really inspired me ... turns out that the shot is my personal worst and at the same time the one that I love the most:

"I just wanted to come back and say that I thought this was an outstanding and way, way original idea....trees in the woods watching a projector screen is so bent, I love it.
This is the sort of quirky brainstorming ideas that can clean up in points...you could ace a challenge with this. All you need to do is work on making it more obvious.
I also like the rectangle shape of the picture. ( like widescreen )
As for giving advice on photography, I am crap (can I say that?), as I am only a beginner.
But I do know enough about photo modification and presentation to understand about audience impact.
Please, keep that imagination pumping out these great ideas. "

"What a wonderful, absurd photograph! It's one thing to have an idea as "out there" as this, but quite another to be able to execute it with this level of skill. Among the many things I love about it is the reflected light on the tree trunks. And how impressive that you resisted the temptation to have an image of any kind on the screen. There's also lots of barely-visible detail hidden in the darkness, so the less imaginative souls among us will at least be able to use it as a monitor calibration test image.
In a world of dull, dross and drear, this image is like a triple shot of tequila. Pow! 10."
