looks very odd.. shoudlnt the bird be highlighted on the right side? It also doesnt have the same texture as the background?

Really interesting and unique composition, you're the only one in the world with this pic, that's for sure.

Nice catch -- I keep trying to get one of an airplane flying across the Moon, but they've either been a little too far off or I didn't have usable camera (or settings) at the time.

Outstanding! The tangency of moon & hawk is remarkable. I'm sure you're getting hammered for "noise" but I don't care; I like it, in this image. Well seen! 7 from me.

Interesting and creatively executed image.

I'm having trouble viewing this image. It will not load! I'll be back to vote.

This ha the feel of art to it. Minimalistic, interesting combination of subjects and I must say that the texture of the sky really works for me. Like a painting.

Good timing. It almost looks like the crow is perched o the moon. You stretched it a bit too much on the telephoto. The noise is pretty high. You may have tried some Noise Ninja or Neat Image to clean it up.

Lovely!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 04:44:00 AM
too much filtering for my taste
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 11:55:44 AM
That's a pretty cool capture. Your processing/filter makes it look like an embossed notecard.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 06:49:25 AM
ehm what is that texture there for ? :) is it noise? coz I dont like it there lol :)))

Lovely view of the bird and the moon.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 04:03:22 AM
I have to say it is unique.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 01:38:39 AM
Nice capture, a one in a million shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 09:21:42 PM
I like the shot very much, but I really don't care for all the noise. Is it from over-sharpening?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 09:16:33 PM
What an interesting capture and composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:57:01 PM
Simple, but symbolically powerful.

03/14/2009 08:56:02 PM
Hey. Great.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 07:52:43 PM
Reminds me of Native American art, nice!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 03:26:03 PM
Lucky shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 01:12:57 PM
Just love the simplicity and peace reflected by this. The grainy texture really works.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:16:39 AM
very interesting shot, great capture, the sky/background "noise" is distracting to me though. a little surface blur on it? imo
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 06:40:18 AM
Or is it a crow?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 02:31:11 AM
I like the texture in the sky. It almost appears to be ISO noise, but if it is, you have done something very cool with it. The sharpness of the bird suggests it is an intentional treatment. Another for my faves list.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 12:14:20 AM
beautiful awkward decisive moment.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 11:32:05 PM
Now that's a perfect capture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 11:29:51 PM
Looks like an album cover lol. Personally I would prefer a bit more space between the moon and the bird, but I like the minimalism.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 02:47:14 PM
Great capture!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 02:40:53 PM
Not sure about the textured sky? Good capture with the moon and bird.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 01:55:40 PM
minimalism that works.. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 11:45:25 AM
wow, this is beautiful
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:38:43 AM
I really like that particular color of blue.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 08:22:29 AM
I thought it was a cow that was supposed to jump over the moon :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:45:34 AM
this is really cool, I like the negative space, this is an image I would of made the mistake of cropping too tightly
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 04:11:20 AM
This is really nice, I do feel that the bird is in exactly the wrong place though, only just touching the moon but neither on it or away from it
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 03:19:22 AM
I like how you tried to use the texture in the border to complement the noise/texture in the pic. Interesting.

The bird/moon grabs the eye too.

Brilliant photography! I simpy love this one
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:16:02 PM
Superb. Subject(s), composition, even the grain. Among best of show so far!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:24:20 PM
Interesting, but the texturing is a little over the top for my tastes.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:08:07 PM
Almost a poster for "The Crow"
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 07:42:10 PM
Amazing capture
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:50:20 PM
Good capture and well framed. Would liked to have seen a tighter crop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:18:51 PM
I like this a lot, lovely and unique :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:16:10 PM
interesting idea, but the sky is very grainy/noisy taking away from the image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 03:51:45 PM
Interesting photo. I like the placement of the bird on the moon.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:28:03 PM
Interesting texture and overall an interesting photo. I like it!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:21:03 PM
The grain makes it look like an old film shot. neat photo!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 01:24:11 PM
Great capture! Even this insanely thick border and square crop nicely complement the image. 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 10:10:00 AM
Very abstract and simple. I wish there wasn't so much noise.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:23:07 AM
interesting and original
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 01:06:25 AM
Well done, very captivating, graphic like presentation.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:40:15 AM
why? the border is taking over my computer screen. You apparently also used a filter that is making your photo look very noisy.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:09:59 AM
If the bird wasn't touching the edge of the moon and the negative space was a bit more utilized, it'd be a stronger image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 11:50:01 PM
Seems like a far off dream, lovely, wonderfully composed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 11:39:28 PM
Neat idea, a bit to noisey for me, and I really do not like the heavy boarder around it, The silohuette or the bird is kind cool though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 10:00:48 PM
wow .. whats with the color of the sky ... i would try with a smaller boarder
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:53:52 PM
The moon and the bird are strangely positioned in relation to one another. I feel that the bird should either be right on the moon, or slightly farther from the moon to give them both space to breathe.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 07:55:31 PM
Aside from the texture in the sky, this is a really nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 07:22:15 PM
Very cool. I love the textured feeling of the sky.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:51:51 PM
I have no words for this - 5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 04:55:02 PM
Fine timing - the bird "eyelashes" are pretty nifty and the "noise" makes a lovely texture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:55:27 PM
I know it wasn't easy to get the bird in the photo...but at this angle I think the moon alone would have been more impressive...did you crop this alot? The photo looks very "grainy"
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 10:29:47 AM
Great! Where is that texture coming from? Hope it's not done in post... may get you a DQ.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:58:21 AM
Nice abstract. Would be great in a art gallery I think. Simple but very emotive.

A difficult capture I'm sure. nice sharp eagle.

Cool shot. Not sure how you got it, but the result is great.

Very nice alignment.
