I saw the image and thought I might know who took the photograph, and was absolutely certain once I read the caption. I am convinced that I have read this somewhere, probably a poem.

I do truly like this image although it does take time to gain a full appreciation for this type of artistry. My only quibble is that I found the foreground a tad oversharpened, and wondered what those "Blotches" were at the top of the image.

I do consider myself to be a rather harsh marker, but did give this image an 8. Congraluations on pioneering this new Genre.

Way overdone, it looks tonemapped to death, to my eyes at least. I realize this style is popular now, and that everyone is doing this sort of thing, but maybe it would work better if it were just a bit subtler. The only thing that catches attention here is the processing, the photo by itself is rather bland. ~3

This is my favorite type of editing, first excellant choice of a place to shoot, 2nd the editing is right on. Is this like an urban acid type? Great work. 9..

I guess this is HDR, the weather seems to have moved the trees a lot between frames, giving a somewhat shuggled feel to the whole thing that is a bit disturbing.

Looks a little overprocessed for my taste...

Nice shot, but it's a bit too busy, and with no clear single subject you don't quite know where to look.

The 'photo' is great...what happened to the title?

Beautiful, but where is the "harshness"? Great editing.

Well sort of a nice job on the HDR processing but I can´t really say I find this image pleasing to look at, it´s just way way too busy for my taste. 5 from me.

Is it a painting; is it a photo? That HDR effect takes some getting used to when the 'volume' is turned up so loud. 7.

Beautiful post editing. The whole composition is lovely. I love the trailing tree branches and texture of the bark. Great sky.
