I really like this. I'm becoming a sucker for silhouettes lately, plus it's black and white so that's even better! It reminds me of a desert oasis, which isnt really desolate but very pretty. I can see the lonliness factor here, though. The sun/moon is a little too centered, but I dont think it would have the same effect had you put it to the side, you would have had to try it I guess. Even so, a really nice image that I could see hanging on a wall!

Wow. The silouettes on the horizon are amazing! I love the glow of the moon and I believe this was just begging to be b&w, at least your version makes me feel that. Wonderful.

I really like this photo, but the title bothers me. I've never seen midnight look that bright, or a swamp look so much like a desert. Either way, this is a pretty sweet shot. It's very crisp in places and I like the sillouettes.

Great shot! This looks like it could have been a sketch..it's so perfect!! Nice job!

Nice silhouette. I like this shot a lot, but it may be improved by moving the horizon line down a bit instead of centered and splitting the frame in half.

Personally I'd prefer this with some of the black cropped away so that the division isn't so close to the centre.

Nice silhouette. The moon is in just the right place, framed by the trees (although a bit low for "midnight"). There is perhaps a bit too much black at the bottom; this image would probably work well cropped as a panorama.

Wonderful silhouette. Tow suggestions: make the horizon leve and more sky and less foreground (looks too empty). Still a wonderful shot. Love the feeling of it. Jacko. 8

I love how you can see the silohuettes (sp?) of everything around. And the sun, it looks so hazy. This is a wonderful shot and I love the dark black of the ground contrasted with the grey of the sky and lightness of the sun.

Nice use of the sun and silhouettes have some great shapes but the composition of the silhouetted items doesn't feel balanced.

I wonder if you thought of cropping this at the bottom to bring out the treeline even more ...trees against the moon are interesting

Moon shadows. I'm a fan of the genre, myself
