I shot this on Saturday while attending a Community Ed class offered by COCC. I'm uncertain of the comp on this photo, do the shadows distract too much? Should it be cropped to the center? Your comments are much appreciated.
I like the perspective, with the rocks pointing to what I am thinking is probably the moon in the sky. The dark tree shadow on the right may be a distraction, perhaps you could reduce its impact somehow with postprocessing? I like the colors.

I'll have to agree that the shadow on the large rock is distracting. Is that spot in the sky the Moon?

I'm liking this scene as is. The shadow adds some nice interest/contrast.

Thanks for the replies. Yes that spot is the moon, unfortunately the wide angle lens does not do it justice..

I like this - the shadows are cool! They are not just a blotch, but the shadow of a tree on the rocks so it's not such a distration but more of a special element. Really schweet.
