Moonlit Forest

I came across this photo and chose to talk about it because of the peculiar atmosphere it exudes.  The light from the moon here is scattered, making visibility minimal.  The rest of the light creates the shadows and silhouettes of the trees here, making the scene feel threatening, frightening, and dangerous.  There is also an implied juxtaposition in this photo, as one might imagine that the same scene in daylight might look more placid, happy, and natural.  None of these emotions come through in this photo.  If anything, it looks exactly the opposite: troubled, unhappy and supernatural.
