Judges Comments:
#3. A monochrome image is very suitable for this excellent image. This image strongly holds the viewer's eye in the center of interest and evokes a mood of mystery. Congratulations.
#4. B&W is a good choice for this subject. The image has a wide tonal range from white to black with good detail in highlights and shadows. Diverging lines draw the eye upward toward the tree top. The darkened sky provides perfect contrast for the light-toned tree branches.
