 DNMC as it is not his style so bring on the low scores.

However, it was definetly inspired by Peter Lik's recent record sale of phantom. I saw this stump and thought it was a spectre of a tree. Following Peter's insperation I've over saturated the image which I also feel brings out the lack of colour from the stump and did more dodge & burning than I usually do.

I like it. Well captured dynamic range, and good detail in the burnt tree.

I feel like Lik's images tended to emphasize everything in focus, not a lot of Bokeh in his.

Creative twist on Lik's big money shot.
I like it, I'm not giving you 6.5 million for it but I like it.

Well, this is funny. Hopefully you can sell it for the same price. An 8 from me
