 The silhouette is of a 14-ft statue of Angel Moroni on top of a 160-ft spire of our San Diego Mormon Temple. To fit this statue "inside the Moon" I had to be about 1km away and use my 400mm (800mm ff-equivalent) lens. Took me a fair amount of research and preparation to be in the right place at the right time to capture it.

This is even harder to accomplish than the 5th place picture I think, because you couldn't tell the angel to move a few steps to the right or the left...
But - a human is always an advantage instead of an object.

In any case: very well done, Lev!
