WOW!!! I love how this is naturally framed by the tree/foilage. Just an amazing moon shot. the colors in the sky surrounding the moon are just incredible -- I've never seen anything like this. nice work!

I love this. The colours on the moon make it look almost like earth, so you almost get the feeling that you are actually looking back at earth! The halo is perfect and the silhouettes are lovely and crisp. It reminds me of the full moon celebrations in Bali. I tried to capture it on film, but that was before I knew how to use my camera:) You have recreated what I saw in my mind's eye;)

Great use of sequence. You don't get to capture those moments very often - and you caught 3 good shots of it! Nice work.

Comment by SJCarter:
Great shot - boy, those things are immense! My only suggestion would be to go ahead and crop out (or clone out) the objects at the bottom. Really nice contrast and colors here.

WOW! It looks like I could reach out and touch this flower - it's coming out of my screen! Fantastic colors, focus, & DOF. Simply amazing. My only (very small) suggestion would be that I want to see all of the petals that are slightly cropped. Outstanding job on this one Scott!

Comment by SJCarter:
Wow... Great shot and I love the triptych. I agree that it's a tad on the dark side, but it's a powerful image nonetheless. One other slight thing - the horizon line seems a bit off level. It could just be me though! Nice work!

Hi,
Thanks for the comment. As for a filter, there was none used. Just an average shot in the middle of the day and a lot of PS work. I know most people don't like a lot of PS work but I liked this picture and felt something was there and I worked on it until I felt I achieved what my vision was of the tree.
