O' are you in Woodland Park? Colorado Springs? I know that area well, my family is and was there. Very nice shot, love seeing the peak again. I can smell the air there. Good lens. Score 7 Justine

Comment by Gracious:
The view is very nice. The colors could be enhanced a little for saturation, and in my humble opinion, the red rock in the forground could be used better if it were not dead center. Perhaps on an angle or to the side to lead the viewer around the scene. You did a good job of showing multi-dimensions here. Good luck in the challenge! Grayce aka Gracious

Comment by DougPaz:
This is a beautiful shot but somehow the brown rock or hill in the foreground takes away fromt the peaks in the background. I wonder if you could have composed this differently. Lighting is great.

Thank for all your comments. This was taken as the sun was setting and the moon just happen to be there. This tree is really amazing. It's roots are actually growing out of a rock ledge and just by looking at it you can see the history of it. In order to get the negative space, I'm below the level of the tree, looking up as I snapped the photo.

Love the extra "space" reference. Need your advice for getting better shots of the moon...

Comment by Kavey:
I like the colours and contents of this photo very much. My preference would be for a portrait shot and to have the moon further away from the tree, though this may have been a) not possible or b) completely not what you wanted. Great feeling of being at the top of a tall mountain, growing out on its own...

Very nice photo. The moon is a great touch. Good amount of blank space (not too much!) That tree has had a hard life. 9 Swash

Crop off the bottom to eliminate the cliff and see what you think. I think it looks fantastic that way. The moon in the background just adds a little quirk to it too. Good job.
