This is an image of the moon coming up over my neighbors house. IT was spooky evening.

A mood is very haunting and reminds me of Halloween. Element of Design

  I know I commented on this, guess it's on a different thread...hmmm...? Anyway, I have tried to do a shot like this, but never came as close to getting it as you have. I had to do 2 layers , one for the mooon, one for the tree...Yours came out great!

Samuel Smith
  hello kerby,
i have been here many times before,and looking for a photo to comment on.your photo editing expertise is one of the best i've seen.you do great work on your photos.yet I am puzzled on which ones are umm .i clearly mean no disrespect to your ability.or vision. or intent.or expertise.and I mean no harm.
i may even have a jeasously bone sticking out.
you do good modeling work,she is I think a natural.nice.
i don't think anyone mentioned composition?i was thinking you could have backed up and stuck that moon in the fork of the tree and put it off to one side,ya know,who cares for a roofline shot of a decent shot.
your exposure is pretty much pristine,yet you centered it?
i'm trying to leave a positive comment that may eventually help me out.
geeez I think I am the first one to try and give a different outlook.
as in your modeling,there is not just one shot that makes a picture,it is legal to move and frame a picture.
now that I think i've trashed everyone else's opinion,i am still not going to hit my delete or back button.
my photos can be better.that's what I want.
i have been trying to figure out why some photos get so many responses in just two days?constructive critique?
ah kerby,i hope no offense has been taken.that was not my intent.you and I can do better with some help.not the great shot kinda comment,but yeah.
visit my gallery as much as you want and trash it if you will.i know I can do better.it's a goal.
take care,sam

  hey kerby,
boy that kinda hurt.
you don't think I could be a fair judge?
pre concievied notions?malice?not my bag.
there is no basis to me being prejudice against you or anyone here.
c'mon kerby,i think you have been a little unfair.should this be a personal correspondence ?naah
i will hang my dirty laundry in public.
did I intend to offend you, ?
no.
will my opinion ever change?
oh geeez.
am I an idiot? yeah.ya know I really like your modeling work.
a little candor would be nice,
you have finalists and I don't.so who am i?why would you worry about my opinion in the first place?
i'm an idiot!
please take care kerby.for I never mean any harm.i am just me.

  hey kerby,love of my life?i never said I didn't like your photo.
i critique my photos the same way I critique others.and yours.put the tree here,the reflection is a little off.i'm talking about my photos kerby.
i am never satisfied with my own work.i,meaning i, can do better.
once that little mundane feeling I get when I think I have a nice pic sets in,
it lasts for a good 2 seconds.
i have my shoes off and I can't count the number of posts here?
am I the oddball out,didn't get a prom date,went postal?
nooo.i threatened a guy on my crew last week because he killed a snake.
yes a real snake.am I cluttering all your accolades?ahh.
best of luck in all your endeavors kerby.but the children I mentor shall be tomorrows future.god or whoever shall make the final judgement,not us.
congrats again kerby,sam
i'm such a putz.
