Although it looks like a moon, it's actually my desk lamp. This was the best shot of 50 or so. It took forever to get the lighting right because I did it without a tripod. I just laid the camera down pointing up on my desk and you can see the results.

I like the concept of this picture. Perhaps back off a bit to reduce the glare of the light and to create a tighter picture. IF I could have seen the moon features, and the backlit part of the plant it would have been fantastic and gotten a well deserved 10!!

Sorry but it looks staged.

Cool idea to use the moon as your light source.

i like it because i don't know what it is, which has forced me to spend time studying it, so props.
