Speaking In Silence

It was silent. The moon, as thin as it was, glowed and showered the audience with an address that most did not hear. An address that commanded a standing ovation.

A 4 image panoramic stitch in CS6 from last evening.

Your thoughts appreciated. Enjoy.

What a coincidence, just this evening I saw the crescent moon and thought of you.

Again, your work seems to have an extra artistic flair that I don’t find in others.

Love the horizontal layers and perfect color in the sky.

Did you have to clone out Venus?

Richard,

Venus was just out of the frame.

Very peaceful, I can almost here the silence of the place. Very nice image.

Lovely set of colors in the sky, with the crescent moon as some extra spice. I also like the 2 tones of blackness in the foreground.

Sweet Youssef. I particularly like how the layers in the dark FG show up too. My wife and I were out Saturday night at the beach and I once again mentioned to her that I bet you were out catching the Crescent.

Very, very nice, Youssef. This image has a wonderful feel. I really like seeing the hint of some foreground trees in the larger version. :toast:

I always enjoy your crescent moon images and this is no exception. Its come to the point that whenever I see the crescent I wonder if Youssef is also watching. :biggrin:
