@Olivier V.: I've tried two days running to leave you a comment - your blog bounces me out - I don't know what I'm doing wrong. (love the yellow arm reaching for an orange)

Mirko Herzner from Mühlheim am Main, Germany

These trees fit the evening light so very well. Strong work. Not sure if I would have gone for the car passing by. Bt it works out nicely.

@Mirko Herzner: I agree with you, Mirko. You know I am drawn to highway images. I took more than a dozen captures - playing with the passing cars along this busy stretch of road. Seeing that the image was stronger without the vehicle lights became obvious when I started the processing. Unfortunately, I only have one image without the tracers. And the sky isn't nearly as interesting in that one. And so it goes...

Just lovely. The transition of light in the right portion of the composition is beautiful.

@Susan: Thanks, Susan - a 'hazy moon' tends to draw me.

grant from kansas city, United States

i love this light, and the deep colors. (sorry to be absent so long. i've been battling a computer virus. think i've finally got it beat.)

@grant: Yo, Grant! It is good to have you back and I'm glad to hear your heading towards complete recovery.

Chris from South Jersey, United States

awesome lighting and colors, and those trees do look like fingers reaching for the stars.....I agree with you and Mirko on the tail-lights and the line on the road - the composition would have been a bit stronger without it...

Francesc B. from région parisienne, France

A strange atmosphere... good effect with the wide angle... I like the silhouettes of dead and alive trees... this moon... ant the streaks... like an UFO...

@Francesc B.: Thank you so much for the kind words, Francesc.
