Gill, I like the high contrast and the somewhat unearthly look of this one. The cutoff tree on the left seems appropriate to me.

I hope you keep using your imagination and experimenting!

Thanks. I thought it was kinda interesting and I put my creativity spin on it.

Thanks Gil for sharing this image and idea. It is a special image with the pitch-black sky, strong contrast and ascending triangles on the mountain.

Gill,

Fun indeed! Not quite sure if it’s the image that fits the title, or the title fits the image… which came first? :slight_smile:

The high contrast is very effective and for me helps depict a moon-like landscape. I’m undecided about the tree/branches on the left. I think because of the extreme contrast/processing? the branches are broken, which looks a bit weird - but again, perhaps effective in the message you’re trying to convey.

If it were mine, and it’s not of course, I might crop that tree out completely and some off the bottom; some vegatation at the bottom could be removed without detracting from the message. I think maybe.

Moon or not, that’s a pretty unique mountain feature and you’ve done a great job showcasing it.

Thanks for showing interest in my Vision. I thinks ill crop some of the bottom off like you suggested. I am never sure about my editing , To Far or not enough. I just keep it fun. Thanks again
