Title a reference to an atrocicy in the book Perdido St Station by China Mieville.

Hmm, I could see something with the two trees, but the tone mapping seems kind of random

strange finish in the branches. I like the effect.

Well it was the branches that ultimately led me to use it. I thought they looked like stained glass, but I think it looked a bit better in p-shop. Ultimately I think the picture isn't that great, but I do still like the branches.

Obvious haloing is very distracting to me. I also think this one needs another element to make it come alive. The tree branches are interesting but using HDR software on a photo that doesn't have a strong subject won't make it come alive.

Yah, I agree. This one should have stayed on the cutting room floor.
