Your Photo: Our Critique
I really like this photo submitted by Sybren Stüvel. It looks like a still out of a horror movie. The bright light and black and white tone give it that eerie look. Symmetry works well in this case. I also, like the detail light up in the top of the trees. Great job!

OK, so I'll be the first to say that I actually agree with Linzee on this one. It's not perfect...the highlights are blown out on the tree trunks on the right side of the image and the extra tree and stronger light on the right side throws the image off balance. I'm assuming that the light is coming from car headlights and Sybren is standing in the middle of the road. If the road was that deserted it might have been better to have the car in the middle of the road rather than off to one side. The reflection in the middle of the road off in the distance is a little distracting as well.
Regardless, this is still a very strong image. I give it 4 stars.
