Lovely composition and colour.This is a good dramatic shot..my only concern is that the details of the upper half of the tree's ends get lost in the colour..

I'm so glad this did well. That sky just made it for me, and obviously others. ;~D

What really gets this high up on the list is not only the perfect execution of the shot, compositionally, but the tangerine sky!!! WOW 9

sometimes too much is just right. another radial edit that works well. great find, well composed and a really weird edit, but it works.

boy, I bet you are getting blasted with this one.. I like the overall concept and image but the red sky is just a bit too funky

Cool colors!

Flawless! This photograph immediately caught my eye. Would make a very unique print. Good luck in winning this challenge. I vote 8.

Wow. Beautiful. If this one doesn't ribbon, I'll be very surprised. Top 10 at least.

Very nice shot. How much post image editing did you do?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/13/2006 04:30:03 PM
post processing exagerating the edges of the tree is quite effective.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/13/2006 09:00:33 AM
Very creative and good expression of the challenge theme. I like the way the clouds point right to the tree. Only minor this is that bird or rock or person in the lower left quadrant. Since I can't identify it, it is kind of distracting. 7

Simple but real nice effect on the sky. Maybe could capture with that thing in water on right side.

Great colors, I love the post processing that you have done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/12/2006 12:21:09 PM
this will be one of my highest scores for "over-the-top" processing. to my eye you got it right. maybe the surreal colors work with the bare tree. I also think you've got the color of the sand spot on. nice artsy photo.

Very post-apocalyptic looking photograph. What really stands out very nicely to me about this photo is the great highlights on the branches of the trees. Strong composition as well with just the right amount of negative space. Nicely done!

I like the way the clouds feather off into the distance. The title is great. Wonderful image all in all. 10.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/12/2006 03:13:56 AM
it's rare that I rate with an high rating shots with infrared effect. Here I assign 7 because the composition is good and the colours are pastel style without an often boring saturation(except that on the top of the image)

Really nice as sur-reallist (how ever you spell that) Out of this world! love it

Very effective use of colors.

Scary, end of the world feel to this great shot; an environmentalists cry in the wilderness.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/11/2006 05:17:02 PM
Wow, almost looks like a painting or something...I like it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/11/2006 03:38:40 PM
great colors. interesting tree.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/11/2006 12:03:41 PM
Very cool....great colors. This one is one of those that'd probably look great in BW or color?

but drugs seem to be making a comeback
 09/10/2006 08:59:44 PM
Excellent. This would have fared really well in the inverted challenge a while back. It works very nicely for this as well. I really like it!
