Long exposure. I painted with a flashlight to expose for the areas I wanted highlighted. It was a great night to get out and shoot, almost a full moon and a clear sky.

ahjenny, this is how the image was framed. The moon is out of the picture to the upper right as you noticed ;)

I really like this picture. Did you cut the moon out or is that how it was cropped?

This one caught my eye, nice simple low key shot.

Meets Challenge: 2 of 3. A little too much like a low exposure shot. I think of low key as using the highlights to show key features of the subject and letting the mind do the rest. That's not what this is doing.
Technical: 2 of 3. The vignetting is probably natural in this shot (I assume there's a bright city in the distance), but it's a little hard for me. And the lighting you used is really bright on one part of the fence drawing my eye away from the tree (which I assume is your intended subject).
Emotion: 2 of 3. I never had "a tree" I would visit when I was a kid, but I always wanted one. I bet this worked well for you (or whoever owns this land). This time of night would have been perfect for stealing a kiss.
Awe: 0 of 1.
