The moon is an apple, far away and still we are in prison.

Is that the sun or the moon? Love the dark moodiness. Intriguing.

Oh very nice low key shot. I really love the interplay between reflections of shadow and light, textured by the surface of the water..

wow, this is fantastic. i love the lighting, the composition. the contrast both in tones and in lines -- the strong vertical lines vs. the gently undulating ripples in the surface of the water. a nine from me.

I see this as a very poetic photo in mood and feel. Actually, this instantly reminded me of a haiku I wrote years ago and had it had tree branches instead of bars it would match perfectly

Tree branch curves skyward
Reaching low to snare the moon
Echo bathed beauty


Nonetheless the moon is an echo bathed beauty here but it is ensnared or trapped by the bars that invokes imagery of imprisonment. That the moon is no longer free to roam the sky but trapped earthbound is a very powerful image. My only plaint is that I wish that the rock did not obscure the surface of the moon (and if this is not a moon but a streetlight don't tell me please for it will destroy the imagery) This is a very artistic and visual poetry shot. Bumping up.
