20. Why did this photo contest make me want to cry so much?

Gorgeous and haunting, deep and lonely.

Great work.
I overlooked Moonshadows the first time, failing to see the round allure of the bluish clearing surrounding it. How it hints of an eye, where the moon is the pupil and the tree branches are like small blood vessels around it.

The Clock in Shadow haunts us with the march of time, and Walking into the Moon makes me want to weep in its existential loneliness, of the bravery ultimately required to walk through to tomorrow, not knowing where we really are or what comes next.
