Challenge: Best of 2004 (Advanced Editing III*)
Collection: Nature
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Location: Greenspring Valley
Date: Dec 24, 2004
Aperture: 4.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/60 sec
Galleries: Landscape, Nature
Date Uploaded: Jan 2, 2005

Taken in the early morning as a full moon sets upon the horizon. This picture was taken with my new Canon 20D the last week in December 2004. I was out looking for pictures for the "Hidden Face" challenge and saw this scene developing. I was awestruck by the masterpiece that nature had presented for me. I only hope this picture does it justice.

I LOVE moonsets! This shot has gorgeous color, pleasing composition, and I love seeing the silhouettes of the trees.

I really like the framing choice here. Nice colors as well. I might clone out the tree just below the moon, it's slightly distracting from the overall shot.

Well seen and nicely timed shot, with trees that were not dead center. ((8))

I think would be better if the moon wasn't centered.

Great shot, I love the colours in this shot and the framing, there is pretty much nothing bad I can say about it at all. Do me a favour, do the shot some justice and print it out LARGE and hang it up somewhere or give it to someone special, it deserves it. (10)

Not sure if your into altering your photos...but cloning out the tree directly below the moon would have really, really made the shot for me

Very nice colours and silhouettes but i can`t decide if the shot would be better without the moon.

I love this one! I love the blue/purple tones, and any picture with the moon in it always appeals to me. The picture really draws me into it. I think it's perfect, so I gave it a 10. Good luck!
