Composition (content)

Nice compostion. The plane passing makes the photo. It adds something interesting, the trail adds depth and most of all height. :)

I think that, as a joke (also given the score), you could rotate it 90 degrees to the right and call it "Rocket to the moon". Somehow it looks even better after a horizontal flip with a rotation of 90 degrees to the left.

Background
The moon is not full. I think it looks better this way.
The background is incredibly noisy. Perhaps a result of enlarging?

Camera Work (Technical)
Can't say much really. For other readers: When you shoot the moon, try to keep the shutter speed fast! The reasons are twofold:
1) The moon moves and it moves fast. Enough to get a blur when you zoomed in on it with a telescope or big zoom lens.
2) The moon is sunlit! That means that it is very bright and returns a lot of light, just as a sunlit wall.

Perhaps another lens? 600mm with a converter? :)

Digital Processing (technical)
Photo is big in filesize, so we are not seeing the results of heavy compression. The noise is what breaks the photo. :(

My opinion
Really interesting, could be stunning when it wasn't so grainy and noisy.

Nice abstract photo.

It will be interesting to hear how you did this. I like it a lot. Southern Hemi?....10

A good idea but the noise absolutely murders this one for me.
A bit of playing around in photoshop should get you a decent picture for your album though.

Fun! Too much noise though....

Great capture. I've always thought of how cool that would be (plane passing in front of the moon). Nice job. I'll give you a 10.

Pretty grainy but a very cool idea.

Very nice, interesting image. How'd ya do it? 8

In this one, the grain actually adds to the picture. Would much less were it not there. 8
01/03/2003 07:41:25 PM
original but there is an unacceptable amount of noise
01/03/2003 09:21:11 AM
Too bad it's overwhelmingly grainy... it's a good idea!
01/03/2003 02:29:14 AM
This is truely one of the more imaginative photos, I'd love to know if you knew ahead of time or just came on it and snapped the picture.

Very interesting photo opportunity. The lack of image quality is understandable.
01/02/2003 12:34:49 PM
Cool!!!

12/30/2002 02:53:58 PM
Not very good
12/30/2002 12:37:57 PM
Nice idea. Too bad about the grainyness of the background.
12/30/2002 07:32:42 AM
Cool idea! :-) Shame about the noisy sky
