It grabs your attention because of the contrast in it even though it’s pretty monochromatic. The moon is very bright, almost a strong sparkle silhouetting the tree trunk and the branches and delicate leaves as well as other vegetation and forms. There is a promise there of the same shapes in daylight in full color. Your brain fills in the details for daylight. I love the intensity of it in your stark rendition. It’s beautiful in a stripped down way, and powerful in your bare minimum use of light and shadow.
