Moon Rising

This is lovely. I like the crescent moon peeking between the branches. The old tree makes an impressive silhouette. Very nice image

Lucy - The colors really pop. Seems to be a little lack of sharpness, which migh just be the web version. More importantly, there is a small branch that seems to be making contact with the moon. You migh consider cloning out that small part so the moon stands alone without the piece of branch.

I agree with Harry's assessment... especially on the moon point... Lots of potential in this one...

I like the color and silhouette but the moon seems to get lost in the branches. The horizon seems a bit busy with the secondary trees and could possibly be shot from a sharper angle to avoid them?

Nice catch Lucy, especially with the moon. I do agree on the branch by the moon, easily fixed. I also think Bob's thought is a good one. Getting lower to shoot the scene would have made a nice photo as well!

This is absolutely wonderful, Lucy. You say this beautiful tree is on your property? I can't recall seeing a better home-landscape grab than this one. The perfect balance of shapes and subtle color graduations make this a beauty.

Now there is a typical stunning Texas sunset. The moon is nice element.

Wonderful tree image. The light gradient makes the perfect backdrop for the silhouette.

The silhouetted trees against the beautiful sunset colors are gorgeous. While the branch touch the moon in a minor nit, I still think is wonderful capture.

Thanks everybody! I do have a ton of pecan trees on my property, so you will see many sunsets behind the same trees. It has made a nice study, as the sky is so very different most nights....like the saying goes " I have a million of them!" The moon is easily fixed...I just noticed, that Venus is rising also (in the next set of branches. I think I will clone out this "white spot" also.
