Monument Rocks, western Kansas, by the light of the full moon. The clouds were streaming ahead of the incoming storm. 50D, ISO 1600, f/4.5, 20 sec, small crop

This is definitely one of your better takes on that spot; the light balance is perfect and i really like the few stars behind the cloud movement. Great shot!

With a 20 sec. exposure this was a good entry for the theme.
Interesting the way the banding draws one's eyes.
The cloud movement makes the monoliths stand out.
I like it.

Rob,
excellent work! Also without the special glasses, this is a 3D image! Congrats.

Great shot, Rob! It has an extremely 3D appearance and I love the stars. Good choice for the theme.
