Finally, a crystal clear sky so I decided to capture the alignment of Venus, Jupiter, and the Crescent Moon. This capture needed a slightly longer exposure which turned the moon into a star. But the remainder of the sunset was still visible on the horizon which made this image really beautiful.

Oh Joanna! You NAILED it! I can't wait to see what you came up with for the Stars challenge. I think this one is a much-higher-deserving score than 6.3! It is breathtaking!

Love the rays from the crescent moon. Nicely captured and presented! A well earned 6+ score. You seem to have uped your game in the last few months. Congratulations!

This screams Jo to me but no matter how good I think the photo is, it doesn't make me think of a sunrise or a sunset. It will however, probably beat the socks off my obvious photo of a sunset.

reflection of the sunset on the water is pretty. The sky is an added bonus

Beautiful, one of my favorites of the challenge, the only one I've seen so far with stars as a major feature.

Is that a meteorite just up and to the right of the brightest star? Very cool. How long was this exposure?
