 Middle of the Day with the moon high in the sky.

I really like the noise I purposely left in the image. I felt that it gives it more depth and movement in the whitearea.

The smoothsky look to me. Didn't feel right and to me really looked horrible.

Concidering I figured this image to tank because of it.

Running this through neat image would have definately reduced the noise and helped this photo, but good framing and a unique picture from the challenge.

Lots of noise in the pic. The moon looks good though!

Nice astronomy shot. This is one time where the use of Neat Image would be quite applicable (or some other noise reduction software/filter). Great detail in the moon! Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Great colors. A bit too noisy for me.

Interesting shot and nice color. The noise is excessive, though.

And I see no connection to mystery or magic. 3.

whew, noisy ain't it? Moon shots are hard to shoot right and also hard to make interesting when the moon is the only subject. You did the first well (except for the noise), but suffer from the second. 4
