Greetings from the Critique Club,
This is a very striking image that can evoke many thoughts and interpretations to me it seems like a medieval battleground following a large battle. In fact it could possible be a scene from Lord of the Rings.
An image like this can carry the viewer away because of its intrigue and should score well. It will have a lasting impression and those that view because they will search further into the image so your selection for this challenge was excellent.
Silhouettes need to be sharp as possible and this is. The composition is great although I would have been inclined to have the moon a little more right of the flagpole. The treatment you have given the clouds by burning is very good and gives that extra dark gloomy feel that compliments the focal subject.
Overall Bob you have a excellent photograph with some very clever digital darkroom treatment to give a very thought provoking image, great work.
Cheers
Tim

| I really like this. I'm sure you'll get a few people who say 'it's too dark' but I say no way. Great job. |

| Wow, I'm sure some people will complain about the positioning of the moon but I think it looks great where it is. |

| I think this might work better if it were taken from an angle such that the moon wasn't nearly off the edge of the frame. Great sky texture though. |

| A little too much work on the sky here, I think...Good placement and silhouette, though. With a sky that didn't look like mold (in a literal sense), this would have received an 8 or 9...As is, it gets a 6. |
