 I thought about not submitting this. And I have two others that I also like. But, I spent all day being pissed aobut scores and such and realized I came to DPC to share images not to worry what they are rated. And I find this image pretty cool. So there. The moon is to your right. The clouds are a mixture of smoke, steam off the lake, humidity, you name it. A HUGE storm passed through about 2 hours before so the air was still very wet and rather unstable. Got some really interesting cloud formations too. The moon peaked out just as they were starting and stayed the entire show. Oh, and the trees are there on purpose. :) This might not be as 'friendly' as the far away city scape images many will post but I like it any way.

My last image taken on July 4th score a 4.8. Let's see if I can beat that!

This photo has great composition. Using the trees as a frame it also gives a sense of deep to your shot as well. One of my top three photos. Nice work.

I really like how the branches have framed this to give perspective...so many of the other entries were so bland, but this one stands out because of the branches and what a sky...8
