Interesting. The moon makes this work quite nicely.

I would imagine that was a very tricky exposure to do Rick, great job and it looks great too.

The large version is a must see. The composition works really well. The moon sets off a scene that would lack interest other wise.

I like this a lot, Rick. I think I'd bust this out on Halloween. :cool:

Neat view, Rick. Definitely has a Halloween feeling with the full moon partially blocked by the stark branches. I do wonder about cropping from the left remove that last branch, but this works very well as presented.

Very eerie feel to this Rick and the moon helps it a lot. Very interesting image. Well done.

This does have a real nice Halloween mood to it with the spooky trees and harvest moon, Rick. Did you happen to get any shots of the moon without the tree branches intersecting, as that would also work.

Nice dark mood to this, Rick. There's a lot of empty space in the top right and center; hard to know if a tighter crop would be an improvement. Very cool image.
