Jan 23, 2010		     Andris. Well you did a great job. What initially tipped me off was the starburst around the 'moon' I've only ever seen that with the sun before. Then I checked your Exif and fell off my chair in surprise! As I said before - super shot.

Jan 23, 2010		     Franz, it's daytime and sun of course, but you can imagine in how many movies "night scenes" were made same as here LOL

p.s. I did try to make it look like night and it really is very similar in our eyes, just camera+optics can't fight in quality with our eyes...

Jan 21, 2010		     Congratulations Andris! A very deserved winner. Great shot!
But please tell us now: sun or moon? I guess it's the sun ;-)

Jan 19, 2010		     Many congrats Andris!! a wonderful image and a great double result!
I have to say that this was not in my TT just because, as Mepo said, I realized in fact this seems not to be taken at night at all (that 1/400 s, f10, ISO 100, really calls for daylight ;-) so decided not to vote for it... but, theme apart, I love this pic, as Jade said, one of the best in the challenges... well done!! :-)

Jan 18, 2010		     Congratulations on your win. It is a great shot but I must say I'm surprised how many people obviously thought it was shot at night. I had it in my tt simply because it was such a super composition. Well done.

Jan 18, 2010		     Really like the shadows from the moonlight - it's the moon, right?

Jan 18, 2010		     Very nicely done and in my top three. I love the hint of blue in an otherwise almost mono shot.

Jan 18, 2010		     Great entry, right on subject, has a great mood, good composition and expoure. The single light is well positioned, all in all a excellent entry.

Jan 17, 2010		     Nice! I like the lighting and shadows. Good on you for getting out there in the cold to capture this one. Good luck!

Jan 17, 2010		     Amazing shot, perfectly executed. For me this looks like a forest in a fairy tale.
What a great emotional impact. Very well done!

Jan 16, 2010		     I sense this one is suffering from double imaging (motion blur) or imperfect layering. But on closer inspection it seems that might not be the case; whatever that effect is, it seems to add something artistic to my eye. The composition and presentation here are extraordinarily good. There is a centrally lit image which seems to have been achieved in a perfectly natural way, and the play of light in the branches and the powerful shadows, off centre light source, and diagonal lines amidst a natural vertical pattern of trees really makes this a standout image.

Jan 15, 2010		     Nice pp - looks a lot like a night time shot scene as called for in the challenge so I will include it in my tt Great scenery.
