Cold night in Western Kentucky. the juxtiposition of the bare tree and crescent moon seemed so forbidding. Adjusted noise with ninja, copied separate shot of moon taken simultaneously to get it from behind tree. Otherwise no other post-processing, besides cropping to eliminate unnecessary foreground, and re-sizing for challenge.

I do like this shot but feel that something is missing. Maybe the fact that I feel like I am looing at the top half of a photograh, I have a feeling I would have liked it better to see a portrait shot of the whole tree, dunno... 6
The tree itself has no really interesting features to hold the viewers eye. The moon doesn't really help either. If this had a really cool dramatic sky behind it maybe but as it is it looks like you just pointed your camera in the air and snappes away and decided to shoe horn it into the challenge.
