 Tree line outside of town. If you look close, you can see the spotlight that shines at night. I tried to expose the shot long enough to capture it. I probably could have exposed it a little longer. Too bad, I'm not going back.

Wow. I gave this an 8. I think it's one of the more original shots in this challenge. I love the shades of gray and black. Cool shot that deserved better.

I can see what effect you were after, but it doesn't come out at all, the entire picture is way too dark.

The trees form a pleasant silhouette against the sky. The sky is a bit dark though to really show them as best they could be.

I rated this picture low because it was dark. 3

Would you believe it is too dark? :D Seriously, there is too much black for that little light. A tighter crop would have helped drastically.

almost impossible to see the trees - very dark.

too dark to distinguish anything but a few schrubs. uninteresting, unappealing to me.

Perhaps a longer exposure would bring out the silhouettes better, or levels adjustment possibly.

ehh ... what's a webster light?
 04/19/2004 03:17:12 PM
Very mysterious. Unfortunately it's a bit too dark with not a lot of impact.

Even turning up the brightness all the way, this is still too dim to have any real impact.

Very dark and what can be made out is not focused.
 04/19/2004 01:23:56 PM
Wow ... inspiring serenity ...

This is really too dark - making it difficult to easily know what the subject is....
