The sensor grain is a bit distracting.I think that I would have preferred this shot without the moon. I seldom like shots which include the moon, since it always looks too small in photographs unless it's the only item in the picture.

great, only photoshop away the scratch in the sky and the lens spot

This is probably just me, but I would have rather just seen the moon in this shot. 5

I like that gradient sky, it's almost as if it is day below and night above. Cool.

Meets the challenge. Would have scored higher, but it's a bit grainy. I like the B&W.

Grainy gradient distracts. Good composition.

I like the tones in the sky a lot and find the picture to be pleasing overall. The composition works very well for me but I donĂ¢€™t think the scene is strong enough to really hold my attention for very long.

The gradient in the sky really helps this image, brings the eye toward the top.

Almost too minimalist, there seems to be no subject here

INteresting, the high film speed gives it a nice effect on this one, 6

Strong work to retain that ddetail in the moon; and I like also that your chosen landscape is so very plain. I don't like, for this challenge, the enormous graininess of the sky, however: it seems to go against the 'full control' element that is so often a hallmark of minimalism. But it's an interesting approach, certainly.

I think it would have been better with a more interesting landscape.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/27/2005 08:01:39 PM
although the landscape adds interest to the shot it takes away from what i think you wanted the subject to be.....

Image looks grainy to me.

This is a nice image. I really like the fact that you shot this image in black and white. It adds contrast. I also like where you positioned the moon in your photograph. Nice work.

This is great! This is just what I had in my mind for a "mimimalism" picture. B/W is a good choice here. Just a little mottled for my likes, but not in an ugly way. It looks natural and not over processed. 7
