This is the original image, I really liked the composition but was struggling to get the impact out of the shot so I started experimenting with BW conversions. This was pretty straight forward, I basically knocked out the blue and cyan range which left me with that great halo around the moon. I also did some selective blurring on the foreground and parts of the tree.

Taken on a peaceful Christmas day afternoon, at home in Dorset by the sea about 10 minutes before this ->

The moon anchors the entire composition. There's a quiet energy about this that I really like.

Very nice photo. I certainly hope you got something into the Blue Moon challenge. Interesting foliage, and a great job exposing for the moon as well. Border is a little dominating.

The scene is just sublime, but the top & bottom borders are tooooo wide, IMO - they hurt the overall image.

The depth of contrast on the tree/bush thing is interesting. Though for me it is not interesting enough. The title with the little half moon seems almost misplaced. The piece just does not hold me.

Looks almost like it blasted the tree as it rose.
