		| | I really like the silhoutte here. Great colors for a change. When ever you see a palm tree and a see, you think of red/yellow/orange tone. I really like the bule tones here. Good Luck. |

		| | I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1115 images, I gave 93 of them an 8. Your image was one of those 93, placing you well within the top 10% for this challenge. 
 With the amount of sunset pics on show in this challenge, it is refreshing to see a shot of the moon instead. Nicely positioned, and the saturation of the blue is lovely. Would look nice on my wall :-)
 
 Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

		| | I like the moon behind the tree, that looks really neat. I would straighten the horizon and crop some off the left side, I think that would make this a stronger photo. |

		| | I love this shot. Maybe the bottom could be more straight, but this doesn't take any points from you in my opinion. Great photo. |

			|  | 03/13/2009 02:32:40 PM | 
		| | Terrific! The way you caught the moon behind the tree is very interesting and placing it at the top of the frame with just a hint of context at the bottom works great. |

		| | When it loaded, I could only see to the top of the cloud line and I was impressed. Then I scrolled down and saw the water... slightly less impressed. Still beautiful though. |

		| | Wonderful composition.  I like the white on the water.   It seems like the horizon is not level, though (tilts down to left).  Is it me? 
 Not voting yet.

		| | Nice silhouette of the palm tree.  The ocean appears to be a bit tilted, but the seawall looks straight so it must be an optical illusion unless the wall is slightly tilted.  I like how the blue vignettes towards the corners. |

		| | Dang!  This is a sweet shot.  Well exposed, nice subject, etc...  Do wish you'd have taken a few seconds to straighten the horizon.  :-/  Overall, still a nice photo.  Good luck. |

		| | Nice angle to get the moon right behind the palm fronds and very pretty blues.  Composition feels a little off; I'd crop more off the right and add more on the left if I had it, to put the top of the tree more on a rule of thirds line.  And much as I hate to say this the horizon looks slightly tilted. |
