Thank you for all the wonderful comments, as some of you have already guessed this was an infrared image with the levels adjusted to make the sky black, but as a byproduct I lost some detail in the forground. The shot was taken about five minutes from my home in a wildlife preserve in northern california at about 2pm, a bright hot day with not a cloud in the sky.

| very dramatic and eye-catching - you might want to play with dodging and burning this one, to brighten up the highlights in the trees and grass - could be even more effective. |

The dark sky is so very strange that I find it oddly appealing. How did you achieve it? Please do let me know, know or after the challenge.

| I love the drama in this shot. The black sky changes this from an expansive, open field to something that feels oppressive and dangerous. How did you do this? |

This is pretty good but the area of sky is unnaturally black and doesn't seem to work for me when it meets the horizon. I like the trees though as the highlight on the leaves is just enough for some detail but not too much as to be overpowering. I would prefer to see the sky not as black because I'm sure there is some detail in there that would make it more appealing to me.
Score:7

Ladies and Gentlemen--We have a winner!...The open landscape and the darkened sky almost make the trees appear to be huddling together for security...
Great photo....The black sky gives it a psuedo-surreal quality along with the a sense of forbode...The negative space is haunting and real! |

| Intersting. I wonder what you use to get hte sky dark,, bluish filter perhaps? Neat. It would've been better if the sky is shown more and a wider angle on a flatter ground. 9 paganini |

| As a rule, I prefer color to B&W, but I really like this shot. It wouldn't have nearly the impact in color. Great effect! Great job! |

| Definite wow factor. Would love to know how you got the sky SO black. Polariser and then heavy use of curves? Either way it's very effective. 10 - floyd |

| I really like this photo! I thought that this may be an Infrared image, but the more I look at it, the less I think it's IR. I see some possibly vignetting on the lower corners and I'm wondering if this is stacked filters? I would really love to hear how you achieved this one... great shot :) = 9 - jmsetzer |
