a great minimalist approach, I like all the footprints too. Only thing I would like to see is the rest of the shadow from the life preserver. 10

the sky seems to be a strange blue color. The composition seems to be a little stale, maybe if you tried shooting by the road it would have made for an interesting line through your shot. I really like the depth of field and clouds though. 6

the Moon and Me

Originally posted by the99: I really like this photo. But I want to understand how your moon seems a Full Moon, if in June 18, the moon were in increasing phase, visible only an 14%. Anyway, amazing, magic shot! Congratulations!

I noticed this too when I did my shot "stargazers", the moon was even slimmer. The two versions you posted have very short shutter speeds and show the definition of the moon and nothing else as it is all dark. For mark's shot, if the moon would have been full it would have been way to bright and you would have seen very few stars and a big white blob for a moon. The 14% visibity allows for the moon to not be too bright but fills itself in with the long exposure. It also helps that the moon is low on the horizon and isn't as bright(like a sunset) and doesn't interfere with the light of the stars. Thats what I think, but I have been wrong before :)
