Beautiful Moon Tonight...
The moon was gorgeous tonight coming over the mountains with a slight red tone. I enhanced this one slightly to bring out the beautiful tones that were visible to the naked eye around the moon. I also enlarged the moon for effect.
Interestingly, doing these shots I realized that the moon is not a perfect sphere! It has jagged edges all the way around. I never realized this was the case.

Interestingly, I gave it a smart blur on purpose because it seemed a bit too crisp for this shot.

this is lovely - the angle of the tree trunk and the square crop are perfect accompaniments to that incredible moon!

I love it, I had to Fav it. It's like the moon is trying to play hide and seek.

I was shoting the same moon in the Baltimore MD area. I like the shot. I may post mine to compair.
SingleDadLaughing (55 months ago | reply)
That'd be cool, I'd love to compare. I imagine it will show from a slightly different angle on the other side of the country, but not much!

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Scenics, not just landscapes!, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

Beautiful capture. Those jagged edges appear due to the amount of craters on its surface. Maybe not a perfect sphere, but magical none-the-less.

well done!
