| This looks a little too hdrish or tonemapped for my taste. I looked at it in bw and liked it better. If you didnt already you should have bracketed and got some detail in the moon |

| I like this photo, but my favorite parts about it are the moon and the mountains. The roots just aren't that appealing to mel Still, I like the overall affect of this picture. |

| I have to admit this is a great location and you did a good job capturing the photograph from this pov. However, with the roots being your main subject I find them a bit dark and lacking of detail. My eyes are drawn more to the mountain peaks. I find the top half of your photograph to be the best. A little dodge or S/H IMO would of helped in bringing out the foreground. |

| I recommend a more panaromic crop, crop the bottom portion a little more. This is an excellent shot. 8 |

| What a beautiful scene, the moon in that pretty coloured sky. I am actually not fond of the roots in the foreground, I think they take away from the beauty of the scene. I love the snowy mountain. |

| Interesting juxtaposition--the mountains are so beautiful, and the roots really aren't. It makes me keep looking at the roots when I'd rather look at the mountain. |

| Almost "surreal" looking, things look like the belong and don't belong at the same time in this image. Quite a different point of view. The almost over the top processing works in this instance. |

| I love the top half of this photo. What a great scene, time of day, hey you caught the moon ... but the bottom half lets me down a bit. Don't sweat it, it's getting a good score. |

| The roots feel very out of place in this image. They are like worms or a some infestation crawling in onto this serene scene. |

It crawled up onto the rocks and lay there, the tentacled creature from the lake. It had taken a grievous injury and had come here to die. For centuries it had been feared and reviled, through no fault of its own. All it wished to do was live, and let live. To hunt for the tasty fish that lived and swam closer to the surface, but the humans that frequented this place that would chance to see it would call it a monster. They would hunt it and avoid it and fear it, and it saddened him.
For he knew it was not he that they should have feared, for there was something terrible and evil in that lake, but it was not him. The thing lived in the deep waters and caverns and was almost never seen, but occasionally it would come hunting, and until now he had known to avoid it. Until now he had hidden from it when it came from its den to terrorize the waters.
This time, however, there had been a boat upon the lake when it came, and in that boat a father with his little girl, a girl that had seen him many times before, and hadn't been afraid. She had thrown fish into the lake for him, and had even talked to him, and he had come to like, nay, love, that little girl. On this day, however, she was now threatened, for that evil thing that was his nemesis had gone straight for the boat and the lives of those within would have been forfeit. So he had acted. He had attacked that evil thing and had fought with it, and the violence of that fight churned the waters and the father, seeing the activity, had taken himself and his daughter to safety, and had called all that would listen to come and witness such a thing.
And so he fought, and through a sheer force of will and love he had triumphed and destroyed that evil thing, and it had drifted to the far bottom of the lake. Yet he had not gained victory without cost, for he was mortally wounded himself, and it was only with struggle that he managed to crawl out of the waters where he did, and lay down to die.
So the people gathered and saw him there, and rejoiced that the monster of the lake was revealed and that it was finally dead, and they need not fear anymore. They, in their ignorance, cheered his demise and set a celebration to mark the day. All of them, that is, but one little girl, who stood back with a tear in her eye and silently thanked an alien creature that had given his life for her safety, though none, but her, would ever know. |

| Very nice combination of elements here - the foreground roots, the moon (I think it is), the jutting of trees, and that gorgeous range. All iced with the orange sky and the smooth water. Almost surreal but in a good way. |

| The light (possibly the editing?) here makes it look like a composition, rather than a single frame. Nice exposure for the sky and background elements. |
