Moon Over Mountains

Nice capture! I know how hard it is to get a shot of the moon so that the light area does not overwhelm the dark, or the dark all but invisible., but you managed to catch even some of the 'facial features'. Any special techniques?

I;m sure you've already been told this is not a silhouette. I would not even qualify as rim-light I'm sure. She's a lovely creature tho.
Also the thing in the lower right forground is distracting. Keep at it!! :)

Really nice! Soft warm quiet. Nice lines, forms, and composition. Wonderful contrast! there is a little spot in the lower left window that is a little distracting, but no big deal.

Silhouettes: Lights, Nature VS Man

Do you reallize this is an unusual weather effect called a sun pillar? It requires a certain shape of ice crystals in the atmosphere to reflect the light, right amount, right altitudes, right time... I've noticed that a few sunset shots in this challenge have them to varying degrees. Amazing that this was occuring for several people at about the same time.
As for the photo, I would like to see the horizon, it seems cut off. You coulde probably bump up the contrast and saturation some to give it more color and increase the effect of the pillar. Hope that helps, good luck! :)

This color and contrast are really nice but I want to see more. A macro about 50% tighter, at least, would be sweet.

Beautiful focus/DOF, forms in the background. I love the texture that the window screen makes in the left side of the window! The only things I would change would be to clone out the water drops on the window above his head and maybe crop some off the right side so the window divider is not in the center of the shot, and to remove a bit of the distracting white in the lower right. - 9

Nice color and shapes good focus and contrast. I would have cloned out the pole on the tower, it is distracting, and would have cropped off the sides some. It is a little busy for me.

Nice color, contrast, composition and cloud shapes. Interesting juxtaposition of forms. But it's not a silhouette and will be scored as such probably.

I would have cropped out the window and a little on the right to simplify. The wall texture and color are rich and kinetic, really nice!
