Nice, spooky haunted forest feel to this. This is a good example of how camera motion can be expressive.

Love the spooky feel of this moonlit scene. The blur adds to the mysterious feel of it. Great!

A little early for Halloween but you produced the effect very well, Lorna.

Lorna... love the ethereal and haunting feel to this. It's as if a haunted soul is looking up from the grave at the trees overhead.

Spooky indeed! I like the way some trunks are almost sharp and some are more blurred.

What a subtle, mysterious, moonlit scene, Lorna! The leaning trees give a sense of reaching for the sky, lit by the full moon. Great placement of the moon in the midst of the trunks and good spacing of the trunks to avoid subject merge. I like the blue and black color combo too with the contrasting white of the moon. Well done!

Hi Lorna :wavey: The moon evokes a moody and mysterious light ....the trunks leaning to the sky adds to the mystery of the scene'...

Thank you for the WP I am very grateful. I was only able to get a few shots of this pan as it had started to rain and while all worked out this one was my favorite. :wavey:

Very fine image - this is a good halloween-time image - feels quite "spooky" and haunting!
Congrats on the WP!
