Greetings from the critique club...

First of all, let me say, "wow", this photo is georgeous. I was not able to vote for this challenge, but I probably would have given you a 7. The sky is georgeous, the composition is great; you've framed the trees well. I love the soft pine needles and how they silhouette against the colourfull background.

You finished with a very good score, but I think it finished a little lower than I'd like because it is subtle. It appears you have fill flashed the grass, and this is probably the 4th thing I notice in the photograph (sky, moon and trees are more dominant). I would love to see a version where the flash created a rim light on the trees (from the side). It's hard to say without comparing the two versions side by side which one would be better.

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.

A little more light on the trees would really help this. The color in of the sky in the background is absolutely beautiful.

Great shot, really like this!

Im assuming this was a longish exposure with a flash fired from the side to bring out a little detail in the grass.

This has a great mood to it that just makes me look over and over again!

This is lovely, but I don't see how you have used flash in this. I may be ignorant, and if so, I'm sorry.
