I agree it's the description that killed it.
If it would have just read, the night sky that would have worked much better.

its DNMC from me if t doesn't meet the description, then again i haven't voted on a challenge in over a month so you have nothing to worry about.

It's okay, Mike. You could give the members who enter under difficult conditions a break, but it is your prerogative to be unforgiving and intolerant.

I'm sorry, I thought this was dpCHALLENGE. I'm not interested in giving anyone a break. What's the point of having a title and a description if you dont have to follow it?

if you want to show off your pretty pictures without boundaries there are plenty of other places and opportunities to do it.

I guess some people are more interested in semantics than photographs.

The problem is the description. It specifically says use the moon stars or planets. Otherwise the rain skies would have been fun.

That's why the naysayers are out. The description makes it almost impossible for some of us when its cloudy all week.

It's always the photographer's prerogative to exercise artistic license. Granting tolerance for your above mentioned constraints should go without saying.

i have the sneaky feeling that you thought about taking a pic of a nights sky reflection in a puddle of water :-)

You're amazing. I actually did just take a picture of the daytime sky reflected in a puddle of water about half an hour ago...

It is challenging. Current moon phase is a beautiful crescent ... visible around sunset. The meteor shower was spectacular at 2:30 am last night. We may have lightning illuminating cumulonimbus clouds tonight in early evening t-storms. For urban dwellers, the cityscapes at night can be wonderful, regardless of, or maybe because of the weather.

Tropical storm rain going through here all this week -- we've had around 8" of rain during the shooting period, and no stars. Last night -- not looking promising. :(

(did seem kind of silly to have during new moon time. :)

Man. 15 entries? There was a gorgeous crescent moon setting just now, but I'm too tired to go out and get the shot I wanted. 30 minutes on a single frame would be brutal anyway.
